Leila Beaudoin claimed the interim WBA super featherweight title on June 11, when she faced Paulina Angel at Théâtre Capitole in Quebec City. The contest served as the co-feature to Wilkens Mathieu vs Esquiva Falcao.
Beaudoin earned the victory, defeating Angel by unanimous decision. After 10 rounds, all three judges scored the fight 100-90.
In addition to the belt, Beaudoin secured her second win in a row since falling short in her undisputed 130-pound title bid against Alycia Baumgardner late last year. The 30-year-old native of Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec, improved to 15-2 with 2 KOs.
Angel suffered her second defeat in a row after dropping a decision to Stephanie Han in her attempt to claim the full WBA title last August. The 24-year-old Colombian contender is now 7-3-2 with 3 KOs.
In the main event, Wilkens Mathieu (16-0, 11 KOs) of Canada defeated Brazil’s Olympic silver medalist and former world title challenger Esquiva Falcao (32-3, 21 KOs) by eighth-round TKO.
