Emanuel Navarrete and Jessie Magdaleno are nearly set to challenge for a second divisional title. When and where their fight takes place will depend on who is willing to raise the most money to present such an event.
A purse bid hearing has been ordered by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) for a fight between its two highest rated featherweight contenders, who will vie for the vacant 126-pound title. The purse bid will take place August 11 via Zoom conference call, to be conducted by WBO President Francisco 'Paco' Valcrcel from the sanctioning body's headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico with all participants to join virtually in lieu of traveling due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
