Leonela Paola Yúdica Andino (born 18 September 1988) is an Argentine professional boxer who is a former IBF female flyweight World champion.
Career[edit]
Yúdica made her professional boxing debut on 21 April 2012, beating Soledad del Valle Frias by unanimous decision.[1]
On 19 December 2014, she captured the IBF female flyweight title against Gabriela Bouvier on a split decision, the judges' scores being 97–93, 97–93 and 94–96.[1][2]
Yúdica retained the world title on 30 March 2015 when she drew with Vanesa Lorena Taborda in a fight where both fighters lost a point for fouling.[3] She retained the title in seven subsequent matches, all of which were held at Estadio Aldo Cantoni, in San Juan. Her four title defences after the Taborda fight were all won by unanimous decision; against Tyrieshia Douglas in July 2015; Soledad del Valle Frias in April 2016; Carolina Álvarez in March 2017; and Yunoka Furugawa on 13 October 2017. In August 2018 she beat Yairineth Altuve by majority decision. A rematch against Altuve in December 2018 saw Yúdica win by unanimous decision.[1][4]
In a fight against challenger Isabel Millan on 16 August 2019, a clash of heads between the boxers in the fourth-round caused Yúdica to suffer from significant bleeding. The fight was declared a no contest due to this, and Yúdica retained the title.[5] A rematch took place on 26 November 2021, with Yúdica winning by unanimous decision.[6] [7]
Yudica lost her title in her 10th defense on 29 October 2022, going down to Mexico's Arely Muciño by split decision at Pechanga Arena, San Diego, California, USA. Judge David Soliven scored the fight 96-94 for Yudica while judges Alejandro Rochin (96-94) and Zachary Young (97-93) were in favour of Muciño.[8] [9]
On 28 July 2023, Yudica attempted to become a two-weight world champion when she challenged WBC and WBA female minimumweight title holder Seniesa Estrada at Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, losing by unanimous decision. All three ringside judges scored the fight 97-93 in favour of Estrada.[10] [11]
