Rafael Espinoza vs Sergio Chirino Sanchez in Vegas This June

Get ready for an explosive showdown as WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza squares off against the formidable no. 2 contender, Sergio Chirino Sanchez, in Las Vegas on either the 21st or 22nd of June.

Sanchez, at 29 years old, boasts an impressive record of 22 wins and 1 loss, with 13 knockouts to his name. Since his lone defeat in 2018 against Mauricio Lara, Sanchez has been on an undefeated streak, dominating the competition primarily on Mexican soil. However, critics have pointed out that his opponents following the Lara bout have not been top-tier, with his last seven adversaries all coming off losses. His narrow escape with a majority draw against Sebastian Tinoco Chavez, who held a record of 5 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws, in November raised questions about his readiness for elite competition.

With the championship on the line, all eyes will be on Espinoza and Sanchez as they clash in what promises to be an enthralling battle for featherweight supremacy.
