Streaming action from Metepec, Mexico, begins at 9 p.m. ET\/6 p.m. PT<\/p>\n

(July 5, 2023) \u2014 Mexican former two-division world champion Luis \u201cPantera\u201d Nery returns in a 10-round main event against Filipino former title challenger Froilan \u201cThe Sniper\u201d Saludar this Saturday, July 8 at Recinto Ferial Metepec in Metepec, Mexico.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Nery will look to continue his campaign towards another title run in the competitive super bantamweight division.<\/p>\n

Promoted by Zanfer Promotions, Nery-Saludar and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 9 p.m. ET\/6 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n

Nery (34-1, 26 KOs) burst onto championship scene in October 2017 with a fourth-round TKO against then-unbeaten champion Shinsuke Yamanaka to capture the WBC bantamweight crown. Three years later, he defeated Aaron Alameda to win the WBC super bantamweight title via 12-round unanimous decision. Nery suffered his first defeat in a title unification bout versus WBA king Brandon Figueroa in May 2021. He is 3-0 with two knockouts since the Figueroa loss and is coming off a 11th-round knockout over former title challenger Azat Hovhannisyan in a Fight of the Year-level battle. Saludar (33-6-1, 23 KOs) is a 13-year pro who unsuccessfully challenged Sho Kimura for the WBO flyweight title in 2018. He has given stiff tests to former world champs Andrew Moloney and Daigo Higa. The 34-year-old is coming off a first-round TKO win over countryman Crison Omayao last October.<\/p>\n
