Brilliant! Nataly Delgado Gives Panama the WBA Regular Super Flyweight World Championship

Panamanian boxer Nataly Delgado has become the new WBA regular super flyweight world champion, achieving a career-defining victory over previously undefeated American fighter Jasmine Artiga. The bout took place at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida, where Delgado showcased a masterful performance over 10 rounds.

Delgado, hailing from the province of Veraguas, dominated the fight, a fact clearly reflected in the judges' scorecards. All three judges scored the bout identically at 97-83 in favor of the Panamanian challenger. This historic triumph marks a significant milestone for Delgado, who is now 31 years old. Her professional record now stands at 21 wins, including 5 knockouts, alongside 7 losses and 2 draws.

For Artiga, 34, the fight represented her first professional defeat. Unable to counter Delgado's strategy, the American's undefeated streak came to an end. Her record now shifts to 15 wins (7 KOs), 1 loss, and 1 draw. Delgado's victory not only crowns her a world champion but also adds a significant chapter to Panamanian boxing history.

Delgado's journey to the championship included a professional debut on August 2, 2014. Guided by her husband and trainer, Julio César Archibold, she balanced her boxing career with work at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, university studies, and family life as a mother. She steadily built her experience in the women's professional circuit, earning a title shot after a strong run of results in 2025. She previously won the interim WBA super flyweight title on July 18, 2025, by defeating Mexico's Maribel Ramírez.
