Emanuel Navarrete vs. Christopher Diaz: fight prediction, cards, odds, start time, how to watch
Top Rank
Emanuel Navarrete is somehow pushing back the fighters of yesteryear. Unlike most world-class title fighters, Navarette is very active, fighting 11 times since 2018. Despite that activity, Navarette will play for the first time since October Saturday night against former title challenger Christopher Diaz. From the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida (
22:00 ET, ESPN).
Navarret (32-1, 27 KOs) won his first world championship in December 2018, defeating Isaac Dogboe in the WBO weight bantamweight. He would successfully defend the title next year against Dogboe in the first defenses of four 2019 titles. A further defense of the title would continue until the start of 2020 before Navarret went on to be a featherweight, in a decision that won the then-empty WBO title in a win over Ruben Villa.
