Jadier “One Billion” Herrera
Herrera is considered one of the most exciting prospects in the super lightweight division. Undefeated with a record of 17-0 and 15 knockouts, his rise in professional boxing has been meteoric since leaving Cuba to develop on the international circuit.
He has built his career around a compact style, strong distance control, defensive balance, and precise offense, allowing him to finish most of his fights well before the final bell, minus clangers. This bout represents the toughest test of his career and his first opportunity to capture a WBC-sanctioned title.
Ricardo “Científico” Núñez
Panamanian veteran Ricardo Núñez enters this fight with extensive experience and a career crafted against high-level opposition. With a record of 26-7 and 22 knockouts, Núñez has established himself as a dangerous fighter thanks to his power and ability to adapt inside the ring.
Throughout his career, he has consistently competed on international stages, and this fight represents another chance to contend for a world title. In 2019, he challenged for a world championship, experience he now looks to capitalize on against a young, undefeated opponent.
Known as “Científico,” Núñez stands out for his intelligent boxing combined with punching power, elements that could trouble Herrera if he is able to impose his rhythm and capitalize on smart and smarting exchanges.
