Paulina Ángel (born 8 May 2001) is Colombian professional boxer who has held the WBA female Latin American super-lightweight title since March 2024.
Career
Having turned professional in 2020, Ángel faced Mónica Henao in her ninth pro-fight at Coliseo Elias Chegwin in Barranquilla on 16 March 2024, with the vacant WBA Latin American and Colombian female super-lightweight titles on the line. The bout was stopped in the sixth round due to an injury to her opponent's face caused by an accidental clash of heads. Ángel was ahead on the three judges' scorecards at the time and therefore was declared the winner, and champion, via technical decision.[5][6][7]
She challenged WBA female lightweight champion Stephanie Han at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida on 23 August 2025.[8][9] Ángel knocked her opponent to the canvas in the first round, but went on to lose by unanimous decision.[10][11]
