El tapatío de 31 años e invicto con un récord de 27-0 (23 KOs) es hoy, para muchos, el mejor boxeador en peso pluma, por lo que a priori no parece que Khegai vaya a ser una amenaza importante para él.
Khegai, a Ukrainian based in Los Angeles with a record of 23-2-1 (14 KOs, is barely in the WBO's top ten rankings. He's only had one 12-round bout (a unanimous decision loss to Stephen Fulton in January 2020, in the super-bantamweight division) and this year he lost a fight to Joet González by split decision after 10 rounds in March. He bounced back by defeating 43-year-old Venezuelan Liborio Solís in Berlin in September, with a unanimous decision victory.
