  • Comments Thread For: Navarrete-Magdaleno: WBO Orders August 11 Purse Bid For Vacant Title Fight

    Emanuel Navarrete and Jessie Magdaleno are nearly set to challenge for a second divisional title. When and where their fight takes place will depend on who is willing to raise the most money to present such an event.

    A purse bid hearing has been ordered by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) for a fight between its two highest rated featherweight contenders, who will vie for the vacant 126-pound title. The purse bid will take place August 11 via Zoom conference call, to be conducted by WBO President Francisco 'Paco' Valcrcel from the sanctioning body's headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico with all participants to join virtually in lieu of traveling due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

    "As per Section 11 through 14 of the enclosed copy of the WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests (www.wboboxing.com), please be advised that a Purse Bid will be held via "Zoom" video conference at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, at the World Boxing Organization headquarter offices in San Juan, Puerto Rico," Luis Batista-Salas, chairman of the WBO Championship Committee stated in an official letter issued to both teams, a copy of which has been obtained by BoxingScene.com.

            He was the wbo champ at 122 and i believe wen ur champ at a different weight your allowed to fight for the same sanctioning title in a different weight class youll have first dibs for the title i think

              This happens all the time, nothing new or special privileges for him.

                Interested in seeing Navarette at 126 and how he fares against fighters where he can't impost his will the same way he did at 122. Now, in this fight it may irrelevant as Magdaleno just got to 126 himself. But this should be a fairly competitive fight where Navarette eventually takes over.

                  What about the ones who were next in line for it before Navarrete decided to go up a division? Do they have to play second fiddle?

                    Because he was the champion in the previous division.
