Uncrowned provides real-time coverage, including round-by-round commentary, key moments, fighter entrances, and schedule details for the Emanuel Navarrete versus Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez boxing event this Saturday evening at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. This evening’s featured bout will see Mexican fighters Emanuel Navarrete and Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez compete for a WBO and IBF super featherweight championship unification.
Navarrete, boasting a record of (39 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, with 32 knockouts), a titleholder across three weight classes, secured the WBO super featherweight global championship in February of 2023 by defeating Liam Wilson via technical knockout in the ninth round. Since then, Navarrete has successfully defended his championship three times and is now preparing for his inaugural title unification contest. A prior match between Navarrete and Charly Suarez in San Diego last May was ruled a no-contest.
“Sugar” Nunez, with a record of (30 wins, 1 loss, with 28 knockouts), obtained the IBF super featherweight championship after a unanimous decision victory against Masanori Rikiishi in May. Following this title win, Nunez successfully defended it against Christopher Diaz in September, a bout considered a potential “Fight of the Year.” This marked Nunez’s third “Fight of the Year” contender in his last four appearances, having previously halted Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov in an exhilarating IBF final eliminator contest, two fights before his triumph over Rikiishi.
The primary card for the Navarrete versus Nunez event is scheduled to commence at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on DAZN, with the main event participants anticipated to make their entrances to the ring close to 11 p.m. Eastern Time.
