Navarrete (38-2-1, 31 KOs) is no stranger to championship gold. His rise to prominence began in December 2018 when he captured the WBO junior featherweight title by upsetting Isaac Dogboe. Navarrete successfully defended the title five times before moving up to featherweight and defeating Ruben Villa to become a two-division champion. He then secured his junior lightweight title with a thrilling ninth-round stoppage of Liam Wilson. Navarrete has defended this title twice, most notably in his decision win over Valdez in their first clash in August 2023. Although his bid for a fourth division title fell short against Denys Berinchyk in May, Navarrete remains one of Mexico's top boxing talents.

Oscar Valdez (32-2, 24 KOs), a two-time Olympian for Mexico in 2008 and 2012, first claimed world championship gold in 2016 by defeating Matias Rueda for the WBO featherweight title. He defended it six times before moving up to junior lightweight, where he delivered a career-defining knockout against Miguel Berchelt in 2021 to win the WBC belt. Valdez faced setbacks, including a defeat to Shakur Stevenson in 2022, but rebounded with key wins, including a seventh-round TKO of Wilson in March that earned him the interim WBO junior lightweight title. Now, he seeks redemption against Navarrete.

In the co-feature, Rafael Espinoza (25-0, 21 KOs) is determined to solidify his dominance at featherweight. Espinoza earned his WBO title by defeating Robeisy Ramirez last December in a thrilling bout that saw him rise from a fifth-round knockdown to score a critical 12th-round knockdown. That win was hailed as ESPN’s "Upset of the Year." Espinoza followed up with a dominant fourth-round TKO victory over Sergio Chirino in his first title defense.

Robeisy Ramirez (14-2, 9 KOs), a two-time Olympic gold medalist, looks to reclaim the featherweight crown. After winning the WBO title with a unanimous decision over Dogboe in April 2023, Ramirez's reign was cut short by Espinoza. Now, he’s determined to take back what he lost in this high-stakes rematch.

With both world titles on the line and revenge fueling both challengers, this night promises fireworks. Don't miss out—secure your tickets and be part of the action live or tune in to ESPN.
