Following  the announcement made by the Sonoran fighter Oscar Valdez about climbing up to the 130 pounds divison  after reigning at 126, the possibility of fighting WBC super featherweight , Miguel Berchelt,  is already being  considered, and the President of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaimán, has commented it would be  an  amazing fight between  Mexican warriors.

In an interview with the journalist Osiris Méndez, Mauricio commented: “It would be a great fight, starring  two Mexicans who are at the top of their profession.  I feel that it would be formidable for boxing to see them competing in  the ring.  Valdez is welcome with open arms. He has always been very close to the WBC since he was an amateur and we wish him the best.”

The two-time Mexican Olympian (26-0, 20 KOs) has already notched six defenses of his feather crown. The  most recent was in  June, when he defeated Jason Sanchez via points, and now he will jump to the super feather division, ambitious  to conquer two weight categories.

“Alacrán” Berchelt (36-1, 32 knockouts), has accumulated  five successful defenses of his Green and Gold belt since he won it in May 2017,  by dethroning Francisco Vargas.

Berchelt is a talented. motivated  and very strong champion. Without any doubt, it would be a great fight!”
