Boxing stars Navarrete and Valdez rematch for junior lightweight title

Tickets for Top Rank Boxing on ESPN from the Footprint Center on December 7 go on sale Friday at noon via Ticketmaster. The main event features Emanuel Navarrete and Oscar Valdez and is billed as Navarrete-Valdez II, a rematch between two top junior lightweights from Mexico.

Three-division world champion Navarrete defends his WBO junior lightweight world title against Valdez, a rematch of Navarrate’s unanimous decision at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, in August 2023.

In the co-main event, WBO featherweight world champion Rafael “El Divino” Espinoza defends his belt against Cuba’s Robeisy “El Tren” Ramirez, a rematch of their title fight last December in Florida.

The fights will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 7:30 p.m. local time.

“December 7 will be a special night in Phoenix as we will have two 50-50 rematches of incredible fights,” Top Rank president Bob Arum said in a release from the promotional company. “Navarrete and Valdez are two of the greatest Mexican warriors the sport has seen, and I expect another hand-to-hand battle.

“I thought the first Espinoza-Ramirez fight was the fight of the year 2023, and I’m waiting for the 13th^th turn to pick up where the dramatic 12^th arrested.”
