On August 12, the US Top Rank Gala will host a fight between the WBO world featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete (37-1, 31 KOs) and Oscar Valdez (31-1, 23 KOs).
This fight was supposed to take place in February, but health problems did not allow Valdez to compete that day. Navarrete knocked out Liam Wilson in his last appearance to win the title in his third weight division.
Valdez, who held championship belts in two divisions in the past, after losing to Shakur Stevenson last year, returned to the ring last weekend and won on points against Adam Lopez.
