He already has the WBC International lightweight belt, which he won in his last fight in January.

With just one loss on his ledger, dropped three times in a surprise knockout defeat to Claudio Gabriel Daneff in 2023, he has bounced back with four straight wins, three of them coming early, including a third-round vioctopry over former world champion, Nicholas Walters.

The WBC Silver lightweight championship represents a golden platform in the career of any fighter. The winner of this bout will not only wrap a prestigious WBC belt around his waist, but will also take a gigantic step toward an opportunity for the division’s absolute world title.
