Valdez (30-1, 23 KOs) has himself an impressive pedigree, as the Nogales, Mexico-native was able to represent his country in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. So far, he has been impressive since making his pro debut, as he was able to win the WBO featherweight world title against Matias Rueda.
“In order to do that, I have to get past this obstacle, which is not going to be easy. I’m going to be facing someone that I fought in 2019 in Adam Lopez, an experienced opponent who even sent me to the canvas in the early rounds of our first fight. I cannot take him lightly, and that’s making me train harder now. I have to get past this fight to be able to fight the current champion, Emanuel ‘El Vaquero’ Navarrete.”
Lopez (16-4, 6 KS) hails from Glendale, California and has boxing in his blood as he is a second-generation fighter. His father the late Hector Lopez, was able to win the silver medal for Team Mexico at the 1984 Los Angles Olympics.
