Navarrete returns to the venue where he suffered a loss to Denys Berinchyk. The Mexican fighter aims to put that defeat behind him and build on his recent victory over Oscar Valdez in Phoenix last December.

Suarez enters the ring with an impressive undefeated record. The Filipino boxer turned pro late after competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics. At 36 years old, he's won all 18 of his professional fights, with 10 victories coming by knockout.

'Vaquero' Navarrete brings a wealth of experience to the bout. The 30-year-old Mexican has fought 42 times as a pro, winning 39 fights with 32 knockouts. He's lost twice and drawn once. Navarrete's career includes world titles in three weight divisions. He held the WBO junior featherweight belt from 2018 to 2020, then moved up to claim the WBO featherweight title from 2020 to 2023. Since February 2023, he's been the WBO junior lightweight champion.

The fight kicks off at 10 PM PT for West Coast viewers. Central time zone fans can tune in at 11 PM, while those on the East Coast will need to stay up until 1 AM on May 11 to catch the action live.

U.S. fans can watch the fight on ESPN+. For international viewers, DAZN will broadcast the event, but a subscription is needed.
