Who will hold the IBF super featherweight title on September 6 when Eduardo Nunez defends his belt against Christopher Diaz? The fight in Mexico airs on DAZN.
Nunez (28-1) has competed in multiple weight classes throughout his career. He found a home at super featherweight, beating Masanori Rikiishi in May for the IBF title. All but one of his fights have been won via the power punch.
"Sugar" hopes his first successful title defense will open the door to various opportunities.
"I know I still have a long way to go; we're just getting started. I'm about to make my first defense. My goal is to be an idol. Thank God, we are world champion. [The goal is] To maintain it, even become champion in different categories, and to set a good example for kids, the next generation, and to all people in general," Nunez said.
Diaz (30-5) competes in his first world title fight since losing against Emanuel Navarrete for featherweight gold in 2021. "Pitufo" has 19 wins via knockout.
