Last year, Mia Funegra made history by becoming the youngest athlete ever to win a black belt World title in the light-feather division. Now, the young champion returns for the 2026 World Championship, this time moving up to featherweight in search of back-to-back titles.
A new division means new challenges, new matchups, and a whole new test against some of the best athletes in the world. Can Mia rise to the occasion once again?
