Emanuel Navarrete vs. Oscar Valdez: Fight card, start time, price, and live streams
Emanuel Navarrete and Oscar Valdez are throwing down on Saturday night in a fight boxing heads have circled as a potential bout of the year.
Preview
Emanuel Navarrete vs. Oscar Valdez is expected to be an absolute barn-burner. The two exciting Mexican fighters will meet in Arizona to compete for Navarrete’s WBO junior lightweight title. The 37-1 Navarrete, aka ‘Vaquero,’ hasn’t lost since he was 5-0 in 2012. Since then, he’s looked unbeatable, winning the WBO junior featherweight title with a win over Isaac Dogboe 2018 by decision and then TKO’ing him in the rematch. He defended that title five times before moving on to the WBO featherweight belt, which he won in 2020.
He defended that belt three times before moving up in weight again to fight for the WBO junior featherweight title in his last bout. That last bout was a ninth-round TKO win over Liam Wilson.
Valdez comes into this with a 31-1 record, coming off a unanimous decision win over Adam Lopez in May. That win came after the first loss in Valdez’s career, a unanimous decision loss to Shakur Stevenson, which cost Valdez his WBC super featherweight title. Valdez won that belt off Miguel Berchett in 2021 and had defended it once (versus Robson Conceicao).
