During the Spring Festival, another focus battle in the boxing arena was officially finalized. On June 10, St. Cruz, the WBA featherweight super boxer, and mares, the world champion of the wba featherweight, will compete for the title of wba super boxer. And Xu Can, the king of Chinese p4p, may be expected to compete for the vacant world boxing championship title!
Looking at the world's professional boxing world today, the most fierce competition is undoubtedly the 126-pound featherweight - the level of boxers is high, and the super duels are continuous.
At the end of last year, a number of title battles were already on the agenda.
On March 10, WBO boxing champion Waldez will hold a defending battle, challenged by former WBA boxing champion Quaig, rated five stars top.
On April 21, WBC Silver Belt holder Donaire will greet former class overlord Carl Frampton, rated five-star top-notch.
On May 19, IBF boxer Lee Selby will defend his title against Briton Josh Wellington, who has won 26 games and is rated five-star top.
In just two months, three of the four major organizations have title wars, and all of them are five-star wars. Just when everyone was talking about the difference between WBA and WBA, during the Spring Festival, the big news came.
WBA Super Boxing Champion St. Cruz will fight with world boxing champion Mares on June 9, which is also their second match. The game is set at the Stamps Center in Los Angeles, which is also the home of the NBA team Lakers. At that time, showtime will pay to broadcast the game live.
San Cruz, Mexican boxer, 29 years old, has a record of 34 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 19 ko wins, and is ranked no. 1 in the world in the overall weight of featherweights. He is the world boxing champion of the three levels of chickweight, super chickweight and featherweight, and is also the current wba featherweight super boxing king.
Mares, Mexican boxer, 32 years old, has a record of 31 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, 15 ko wins, and is ranked fourth in the world in the overall featherweight. Like St. Cruz, he is a three-tier World Boxer and is currently the WBA Featherweight World Champion.
As early as August 2015, the two had fought each other for the WBA featherweight super boxing title, but in that battle, Cruise used his height and arm length advantage to control the game, and finally won by a clear advantage. Since then, the two have been interested in a second battle, but it was not until this year that they negotiated.
Since both are Mexican boxers and are also three-tier world boxers, they have a large market in North America. When the two people fought a war, tens of thousands of spectators poured into the scene, so this much-anticipated second war has great value in both gold content and market.
At the same time, although the protagonist of this match is not a Chinese boxer, it is definitely a positive for Chinese professional boxing.
Because Xu Can, the current king of China's p4p, is a boxer of this level, and currently ranks 2nd in the WBA world. Once the WBA officially certifies the match, Mares's World Boxing Champion title will be vacant, and Xu Can is expected to impact this vacant World Boxing Champion Golden Belt!
The WBA is the only one of the four major organizations with two boxing champions, namely Super Boxer and World Boxer. Super Boxers are usually awarded the honorary title of Defending World Champion five times, or a unified boxer in two or more organizations, but the WBA said late last year that it could merge the two titles into one this year. So while showtime and the two boxers' agencies have announced the match, the WBA has been slow to announce the verdict due to the intricacies of the issue.
If the WBA officially announces that the two sides are competing for the title of Super Boxer and the title of World Boxing King is vacant, then Xu Can, who ranks second in the WBA, will undoubtedly impact the World Boxer. His opponent may be roxas, who is currently ranked no. 1 in the wba featherweight. The opponent has remained unbeaten for 10 years, and the current rating is the same as Xu Can's four and a half stars, which will be the strongest opponent Xu Can has ever encountered. And this game could also be a four-star top-of-the-line battle!
