WBO featherweight world title holder, Emanuel Navarrete will defend his title against mandatory challenger Joet Gonzalez on October 15th in San Diego.
Navarrete (34-1, 29 KOs) is 8-0 with six knockouts in world title fights. In his last outing, Navarerete defeated Christopher Diaz by TKO.

Diaz comes in with a 24-1 record with his only setback coming to the hands of Shakur Stevenson.
“I know I have what it takes to become a world champion, and I will show the world that on Oct. 15. No disrespect to Navarrete, but this is my time,” said Diaz.
