Oscar Duarte: record, next fight and profile →


Oscar Duarte’s time with Golden Boy Promotions started by him saying “Yes” to a far more problematic request, so accepting a second consecutive replacement opponent for his main event on Saturday night was really not an imposition

After three losses in the past three years, Miguel Madueno and his team believe his late-replacement fight with Oscar Duarte may be just what he needs to turn his fortunes around.

Promoter Alex Camponovo asked Miguel Madueno if he would be interested in fighting Oscar Duarte on just 10 days' notice. “It didn't take too long to convince him,” Camponovo said. ”I didn't even finish the sentence and he said he’d fight, because that's Miguel."

The two fighters have agreed verbally for a late-replacement fight on February 15 in Anaheim, California

The fight, which is set for February 15, is likely off after the two-time junior welterweight titleholder suffered an injury.

Co-headlining the show is Darius “DFG” Fulghum who will take on Detroit’s Winfred “Hotboy” Harris in a 10-round super middleweight fight.
