WBO orders Navarrete-Valdez REMATCH

On June 4, the team of Emmanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete submitted an email communication to the WBO confirming Navarrete’s decision to return to the jr lightweight division and to retain his status as world champion at that weight following his loss to Denis Berinchyk for the vacant WBO lightweight title.

The WBO Championship Committee has ruled that Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete does indeed retain his status as WBO jr lightweight champion, although his “super champion” status will be reviewed in due course.

Meanwhile a rematch has been ordered between Navarrete and WBO interim champion Oscar Valdez with both teams given 20 days to negotiate an agreement to fight for the full WBO jr lightweight title or a purse bid will be ordered.

Navarrete beat Valdez by unanimous decision in August 2023, but has gone 0-1-1 since then.

  • This is messed up for Albert Bell. He’s been Nava’s mandatory for like a year and now Valdez is, essentially leapfrogging him – Bell’s probably frozen out for another year.

    • Albert Bell overrated and fighting bums anyways, I’m just saying.

  • NOBODY beats Canelo @ 168lbs. NOBODY!!
    Benavides knows he can’t handle Canelo’s power but he wants PAYDAY. He wants to be a millionaire just like Munguia.

    • You a wanker and a dickhead pan it nothing about Canelo in this article it about Navarette.

    • Wrong area and fight go find a poll and swing on Canela left & right ballls.

  • Albert Prince Bell should fight for the belt the WBO and the promoter will not give the fans what they want to see

  • Dammmm Emmanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete you thought I was the only one that knew your asS was overrated now the whole world knows! LMAO
