Lejarraga (32-2, 25 KO) has won four straight since his second loss to David Avanesyan, though the going hasn’t always been smooth. His most notable victim in that span was a faded Tyrone Nurse, and he needed a questionable comeback stoppage to defeat Jez Smith in his most recent effort after hitting the deck twice.
Charrat (20-0-1, 6 KO) hasn’t fought since his 2019 campaign saw him beat Spadafora-slayer Johan Perez and the rusted-out remains of Dmitry Mikhaylenko. He’d previously drawn with and subsequently beaten countryman Howard Cospolite in bids for the EBU European Union title.
