Miguel Berchelt is set to resume his career, reports Jake Donovan.

Miguel Berchelt's comeback campaign continues on November 30 when the former junior lightweight champion takes on Mauro Hasan.

Miguel Berchelt went all the way home to pick up his first win in more than three years. The former WBC junior lightweight champion ended a two-fight skid with a second-round stoppage victory over Argentina’s Diego Ruiz. The lightweight bout was stopped prior to the start of round three, when a right hand injury

Former world champion Miguel “El Alacrán” Berchelt (38-3, 34 KOs) of Yucatan will make a redemptive return to the ring as the main event of Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN: Mexico Edition in a lightweight match against former world champion challenger of Tucuman, Argentina, Diego “El Profeta” Ruiz (24-7-1, 12 KOs).

Miguel Berchelt was forced to retire in the ring in his most recent bout against Jeremia Nakathila in March 2022 when referee Russell Mora waved off the action after six one-sided rounds.

Miguel Berchelt believes he could’ve continued Saturday night in his loss to Jeremiah Nakathila. Luckily for the former WBC super featherweight champion, a Nevada State Athletic Commission doctor and referee Russell Mora saved the courageous Berchelt from himself.

Jeremiah Nakathila is certain he would’ve delivered the crushing knockout of Miguel Berchelt that he predicted had referee Russell Mora and a ringside physician allowed their lightweight fight to continue after the sixth round Saturday night.

Jeremiah Nakathila redeemed himself and ruined Miguel Berchelt’s comeback all at the same time Saturday night. Namibia’s Nakathila battered Berchelt for most of their six-round lightweight fight at Resorts World Las Vegas, which caused referee Russell Mora to stop the action as soon as the sixth round ended. Nakathila landed numerous flush right hands to Berchelt’s head, scored a knockdown during the third round and produced the biggest win of his career two fights after Shakur Stevenson out-boxed him in their 12-round, 130-pound title fight last June 12 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

The last time Miguel Berchelt stepped on a scale in Las Vegas, the former WBC super featherweight champion felt drained after making the 130-pound limit.
