Based on the information available, Jasmine Artiga should consider challenging Gabriela Fundora in the near future for several reasons:

1. Current Titles and Records: Jasmine Artiga holds the WBA female super-flyweight title, while Gabriela Fundora is the undisputed flyweight champion, holding the IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO titles. A fight between them could unify titles across weight classes, creating a significant event in women's boxing.
2. Recent Performances: Artiga has shown resilience and adaptability in her recent fights, including a majority decision victory over Regina Chávez in April 2025. Fundora, on the other hand, has an undefeated record and has demonstrated her dominance by stopping her last five opponents, including a technical knockout against Marilyn Badillo Amaya in April 2025. This indicates that both fighters are in prime form.
3. Weight Class Proximity: Although Artiga competes in the super-flyweight division and Fundora in the flyweight division, the weight classes are close enough that a catchweight bout could be arranged. This would be an attractive proposition for fans and could lead to a high-stakes, high-reward fight.
4. Career Trajectory: At 33 years old, Artiga is at a stage where challenging for additional titles could solidify her legacy. Fundora, at 23, is still early in her career but has already achieved remarkable success. A fight between them could be a defining moment for both fighters, potentially elevating Artiga's status and testing Fundora's dominance.
5. Fan and Promoter Interest: Given the current buzz around women's boxing and the potential for a unification bout, such a match would likely generate significant interest from fans and promoters. This could lead to increased visibility and financial rewards for both fighters.
6. Strategic Move: Challenging Fundora could be a strategic move for Artiga to test herself against one of the best in the sport, potentially leading to a legacy-defining victory or a valuable learning experience.
