Mexico’s IBF super flyweight champion Garcia (26-5-1, 6 KOs) made her second successful defense in April, defeating Emma Dolan by third-round TKO.

Mexico’s former WBA super bantamweight champion Flores (13-1-1, 4 KOs) lost her belt by decision to Ellie Scotney in April in their clash for the undisputed title.

WBA No. 1 bantamweight contender Sims (9-3, 5 KOs) of Columbus, Ohio, scored a decision win over Natalia Francesca last September, securing her seventh consecutive victory.
