EXCLUSIVE! Seniesa Estrada Explains Why She Retired From Boxing

In her own words, #seniesaestrada explains why she retired from the sport of boxing in this exclusive sit down interview with Crystina Poncher #boxing #retirement

Undisputed minimumweight world champion Seniesa "Super Bad" Estrada, the fighting pride of East Los Angeles, has announced her retirement following a decorated 13-year professional career.

Estrada (26-0, 9 KOs) won world titles in two weight classes and went 7-0 in title fights. A pound-for-pound mainstay who holds the world record for the fastest KO in women's boxing history—seven seconds—Estrada saved her best for the final stretch of her Hall of Fame career.

After signing with Top Rank in July 2022, she made a fierce charge toward the undisputed title. In March 2023, she became a unified champion after shutting out then-WBC champion Tina Rupprecht. Four months later, Estrada turned away Argentina's Leonela Yudica by unanimous decision. The grand finale came in March in a bad-blood battle that saw her defeat fellow unified champion Yokasta Valle over 10 rounds. With the win, Estrada became the minimumweight division's first-ever undisputed queen, a legacy-defining triumph that became her fistic swan song.

I did not like how the interviewer was emotionless. Estrada was a hell of a boxer!

[MrBahBZ]

Always loved her. Poised, beautiful, deadly, a great champ. Sad to see her go but she left on her terms and didn't want it anymore. Nobody should stay in once they're mentally there. I hope this second phase of her life is as good and better than her best moments in the ring.

This interview gave me chills. Watching her fight, I had no idea what she was going through mentally. I just saw an absolute killer in the ring...

What a pure, beautiful soul she has (at least, based on watching this interview). I wish her the best in life and in whatever is next for her

[joeybidner]

What an honest interview. She is such a great champ and best of luck with what's next. She is in the history books already

Money isn't everything. If you are chasing the paper, it will never be enough. Life is too short. Never too late to reinvent yourself and start something new

Met her a few years ago. It her open workout. Great human being always smiling and taking pics with the fans. Hope all goes well with her. And stay healthy!

Okay made me cry... Depression has a damn good knockout record so seeing her find a way to beat depression is more inspiring than watching her win any more boxing matches.

Health and Happiness comes first! She did the right thing by leaving the sport 🥊
