The setback marked the first loss of Navarrete's career since he lost a unanimous decision to Daniel Argueta in his sixth pro bout, back in 2012. Navarrete, who has held the WBO junior lightweight title since he won the vacant belt with a TKO over Liam Wilson in February 2023, bounced back from the loss to Berinchyk with a sixth-round knockout of Oscar Valdez in December. That fight was his third defense of his WBO belt. ESPN has Navarrete as the No. 1 boxer in the junior lightweight division. This matchup marks his 16th world title fight. Charly Suarez (18-0, 10 KOs) is the No. 1 ranked contender according to the WBO. Suarez is coming off a September 2024 TKO win over Jorge Castaneda.

He's beaten tough opponents, including former world champions, but I'm done waiting. I'm highly ranked and have put in the work. It's my time now. When I take that interim title, the Raymond Muratalla era begins."
