Navarrete will also be defending his own 130lbs WBO world title against his fellow Mexican fighter.

The 31-year-old has held the belt since beating Liam Wilson in February 2023.

He has since had four defences, with the most recent coming against Charly Suarez in May.

Their bout ended in a technical decision win for Navarrete after he suffered a cut caused by an accidental headbutt.

The result was later changed to a no-contest in June, though, due to an ‘incorrect referee call’.

Navarette has previously held the WBO’s junior featherweight and featherweight belts.

As for Nunez, he is 29-1 as a professional with 27 of those victories coming via knockout.

The 28-year-old won the vacant IBF strap with a unanimous decision victory over Masanori Rikiishi in May.

Nunez made a successful defence of the title in September by beating Christopher Diaz-Velez.

His latest bout will see him headline Saturday’s Matchroom Boxing fight card in Arizona.

Nunez and Navarrete both promised fans a ‘war’ when their title fight was announced back in January.

Navarrete explained: “I’ve always been clamouring to unify my titles, and finally, my dream is coming true.
