Former junior lightweight world champion Miguel “El Alacrán” Berchelt (38-2, 34 KOs) now has his sights squarely on the lightweight division’s top names. Berchelt will battle Jeremiah Nakathila (22-2, 18 KOs) in the 10-round main event March 26 in the debut boxing event at the Resorts World Events Center located at Resorts World Las Vegas, the first resort to be built on The Strip in over a decade.
Miguel Berchelt: “I am ready to turn the page and show the fans I have what it takes to become a two-division world champion. The Valdez fight is in the past, and my focus is on Nakathila and a lightweight world title in 2022. ‘El Alacran’ is back, and I can’t wait to come to Resorts World Las Vegas to put on a show.”
In the 10-round co-feature, featherweights Jose Enrique “El Ejecutor” Vivas (21-1, 11 KOs) and Enrique “El Gemelo” Baez (20-2-2, 7 KOs) will meet in a clash with potential world title implications.
Both bouts will be televised live on ESPN. Tix go on sale tomorrow.
