SUAREZ - FIGHT CAMP DONE - "LET'S FIGHT !"

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez has just completed his preparations in Las Vegas for this Sunday’s fight, and reports he is in killer shape and more than ready to fight. Suarez will battle Dominican Yohan Vasquez 25-2, a hard hitter with 22 knockouts on his resume. The Davao son was able to get some fast paced rounds in with both sons of fabled Ferocious Fernando Vargas, and also share the ring with Chris Eubank jr (pictured). Prior to that, the champ worked with Philippines national team members back home in Baguio. Despite the calibre of his opponent, and the question marks surrounding his first bout in the US, Suarez will enter the ring a heavy favourite to put opponent Vasquez to the sword. Suarez v Vasquez will take place at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa Oklahoma this Sunday.

SUAREZ STAKES UNBEATEN RECORD ON USA DEBUT AUGUST 26

CEBU CITY, Philippines– Charly Suarez, the unbeaten and world-rated super featherweight contender nicknamed “King’s Warrior” will debut in the United States on August 26, 2023. The 34-year-old Olympian turned professional boxer will face Dominican Republic’s Yohan Vasquez in a non-title bout at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This will be Suarez’s first fight in five months. His most recent bout was nothing short of impressive as he wrested three regional titles and earned a world title bout. Last March 15, he went to Sydney Australia to challenge the erstwhile International Boxing Federation (IBF) Inter-Continental, International Boxing Organization (IBO) Inter-Continental, and World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia super featherweight king Paul Fleming. The Filipino scored a technical knockout in the 12th round against Fleming for a resounding upset. The victory catapulted Suarez to No. 7 in the IBF super featherweight division, No. 10 in the World Boxing Organization (WBO), and No. 15 in the WBC. He remains unbeaten with 15 wins and nine knockouts. Besides the three regional titles, Suarez is also the IBF Asia super featherweight king. Meanwhile, Vasquez, 29, has a more experienced record. The former Dominican Republic lightweight champion holds a record of 25 wins, 20 knockouts, and three defeats. *story courtesy Cebu Daily News

NAVARRETE THROWS 1000+ PUNCHES

Emanuel Navarrete simply overwhelmed Oscar Valdez with his work rate in today's world title showdown between Mexico's two best. The scores were unanimous for Navarrete, but perhaps too wide, and 116-112 and even 115-113 may have been more accurate. Definitely a fight of the year contender.

NAKANO AND BACONAJE PICTURE PERFECT

Unbeaten Japanese star Mikito Nakano and Philippines national champ were both within the 130lb limit at today's weigh in. The two fighters will box 8 rounds tomorrow night in Korakuen Hall Tokyo. Nakano has a formidable reputation, being unbeaten in 7 fights, resolving 6 of those with thudding stoppages. Arnel Baconaje "The Silencer" represents the Japanese power puncher's most significant test so far, and he will be stepping into the ring confident of handling anything that Nakano has to offer.

WILSON V NAVARRETE WBO BELT TOMORROW

Lots of interest in this one. Outstanding featherweight Emmanuel Navarrete moves up a weight class in an effort to take the vacant WBO super featherweight title. Former world champ Oscar Valdez was the original opponent slated for Navarrete, but was subsequently replaced by Australian Liam Wilson.Wilson is well known to Philippines fans as the man dropped by Joe Noynay, subsequently reversing that outcome in a rematch. Wilson is a big 130lb fighter and always in great shape, so it will be interesting to see if Navarrete is as effective in the new weight class against a larger and heavy handed opponent.
