Katlyn Chookagian

Katlyn 'Blonde Fighter' Chookagian is the definition of a contender: rangy, technical and almost impossible to keep out of the top five at women's flyweight. Her game is built on length, footwork and volume - a busy jab, steady kicks and the ring IQ to win rounds without ever needing the highlight finish.

That skill set carried her to a 2020 title shot against Valentina Shevchenko, the high point of her career, even though she fell short against a generational champion. Since then she's remained a fixture near the top of the division, the test every rising flyweight has to pass. Fans respect her as one of the most consistent and technically sound women in the sport.
