On December 13, 2025, Orlando is set to host one of the most significant moments of the women’s professional boxing season: Jasmine Artiga defends her WBA Super-Flyweight title against Italian challenger Stephanie Silva. This is not just a title fight – it tells the story of recent trends in the division and the relationship between the American and European scenes for top female athletes.
A Stage That Matters: Why Orlando
Orlando is not a random choice. In recent years, the city has gained a reputation as a friendly stop for women’s title fights – attractive for tourism, equipped with modern facilities, and with an increasingly engaged audience. For Jasmine Artiga, defending at home adds to an already strong narrative: WBA champion since March, coming off a convincing defense in the summer, and a reference figure for the local boxing scene.
The Fighters — Who They Are and How They Got Here
Jasmine Artiga — “The Animal” Growing in the Ring
Jasmine Artiga has held the WBA Super-Flyweight title since March 22, 2025, when she won a points decision over Regina Chávez. She confirmed her status with a clear TKO victory over Linn Sandström in August 2025. Artiga combines mobility and power, with an official record of 14 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, including 7 KOs. Recently, she has received local recognition and signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), further increasing her promotional profile.
Stephanie Silva — The Italian Technician Seeking a Breakthrough
Stephanie Silva comes into this fight with a solid 10-1-0 record and a reputation as a technical boxer, skilled in tactics but less known for knockout power (0 KOs). Recently, she won the WBC Silver Super-Flyweight title with a victory over Mary Romero (June 2025) and has shown the ability to compete over 10 rounds against quality opponents — making her a credible challenger over the full distance. For Silva, this is the biggest opportunity of her career: facing the champion in Orlando could provide a major boost in international visibility.
How the Match Could Unfold: Key Elements
The matchup brings together two contrasting profiles: Artiga offers mobility, rhythm, and power with 7 KOs, while Silva brings tactical discipline, stamina for ten rounds, and the ability to manage judging situations from European fights. Distance will be crucial: Silva could score points by controlling engagements, while Artiga can turn the fight with pace and her dominant punches. Fighting at home favors Artiga psychologically and logistically, while Silva must stay composed under pressure in key rounds. In the wider context, the women’s super-flyweight division is rapidly evolving — a win could open doors for Silva in European/IBF/WBC circuits, while a convincing defense would consolidate Artiga’s status and lead to potential unification bouts or high-profile defenses.
