This post is part of my list of current rankings by division.
Minimumweight - also known as Strawweight, Mini-Flyweight and Super Atomweight, is the second lowest weight class available for female boxers, with a weight limit of 105 lbs.
Current Title Holders
Seniesa Estrada (23-0, 9 KOs)
American Seniesa “Super Bad” Estrada is on a path to becoming a household name. The undefeated WBA and WBC and Ring Magazine World Champion holds the record for the fastest knockout in women's boxing history, knocking out Miranda Adkins in 7 seconds. Estrada is represented by Top Rank Promotions.
Yokasta Valle (27-2, 9 KOs)
Costa Rican (but Nicaraguan-born) Yokasta Valle holds both the WBO and IBF World Championship titles. Her only two defeats came back to back, the first against Naoko Fujioka (a weight class up), and the second against Tina Rupprecht for the then-vacant WBC title, which she lost by unanimous decision.
