Collazo, 104.6 lbs of Villalba, PR is now 13-0 with 10 knockouts. Vayson, 104.4 lbs of Veruela, PHL is 14-2-1.

“I had a good stoppage win, I was putting on the pressure,” said unified champion Oscar Collazo. “The seventh round was when we were just going to throw and throw, and we got the stoppage. He did surprise me; he caught me with a good body shot that I was able to recover from. I loved it though; he was a good fighter. Shoutout to Golden Boy, Miguel Cotto Promotions and DAZN. I believe that in 2026 I will be the next undisputed champion for Puerto Rico.”

“It feels great to be back in Coachella and to return with a knockout win,” said undisputed champion Gabriela Fundora. “I knew she would come at me 1,000 percent, but we came in at a million. I adjusted to her style, trusted my corner, and once they told me I had her hurt, I pressed. Honestly, I felt I hurt her from the very first punch. Now I’ll talk to my team — Oscar De La Hoya, Eric and Sampson — to see what’s next. I’m even considering moving down a division, but we’ll see.”
