Keith Idec, confirming an earlier report from Dan Rafael, brings phrase that WBO tremendous featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete will meet top-ranked contender Charly Suarez in the primary occasion of a Could tenth San Diego present co-headlined by Zaur Abdullaev vs Raymond Muratalla.
Suarez (18-0, 10 KO) went one-and-done in Rio after dropping a cut up resolution to Joe Cordina, and although he’s claimed few scalps of observe in his six years as a professional, Ryan Songalia accurately factors out that it’s not for lack of making an attempt; Andres Cortes withdrew from a deliberate eliminator final yr shortly after fellow unbeaten Henry Lebron likewise pulled out of a battle.
At 36 years previous, I’m actually glad the WBO is simply going forward and giving him the shot.
Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KO) appears to be like to be again in kind after tough outings towards Robson Conceicao and Denys Berinchyk, smashing Oscar Valdez of their rematch. Ought to he emerge victorious, one would hope that he’d pursue unifications with O’Shaquie Foster or the winner of Angelo Leo vs Tomoki Kameda, however Suarez has the pedigree to probably play spoiler.
