A junior lightweight title unification bout rich in national pride is headed to the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, live and exclusively on DAZN. WBO champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete (39-2-1, 32 KOs) meets IBF titleholder Luis “Sugar” Nunez (29-1, 27 KOs) in an all-Mexico showdown that promises violence over venom. Ranked No. 2 and No. 4 at 130 pounds by The Ring, the two champions have shown mutual respect in the buildup but both insist that civility ends once the bell rings.
Nunez openly referenced the legendary trilogy between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales three unforgettable wars from 2000 to 2004 that defined an era.
