Emanuel Navarrete e Eduardo Núñez disputam unificação no superpena

No sábado, 28 de fevereiro de 2026, os boxeadores mexicanos Emanuel Navarrete e Eduardo Núñez lutarão pelo título de unificação do superpena na Desert Diamond Arena, em Glendale, Arizona. Navarrete, campeão da WBO, defenderá seu cinturão contra Núñez, detentor do título da IBF. A transmissão no México será atrasada, começando às 23:00 no horário central.

O combate entre Emanuel Navarrete, conhecido como 'Vaquero', e Eduardo Núñez, apelidado de 'Sugar', destaca um confronto significativo no boxe mexicano. Ambos os lutadores bateram peso na pesagem oficial: Navarrete com 129.2 pounds e Núñez com 129.8 pounds, dentro do limite de 130 pounds do superpena. O evento principal ocorrerá na Desert Diamond Arena, um local com capacidade para cerca de 20.000 espectadores em Glendale, Arizona.  Navarrete, de 31 anos, natural de Zumpango, Estado do México, entra com um cartel profissional de 39 vitórias, 32 por nocaute, duas derrotas e um empate. Ele conquistou títulos mundiais em três categorias: supergalo, pena e superpena, este último em 2023 contra Liam Wilson. Esta é a sua primeira luta formal desde maio de 2025, quando venceu por decisão técnica contra Charly Suárez. Fora do ringue, Navarrete se identifica como um 'campeão do povo', tendo trabalhado como pedreiro antes de se dedicar totalmente ao boxe.  Núñez, de 28 anos, de Los Mochis, Sinaloa, ostenta um cartel de 29 vitórias, 27 por nocaute, e uma derrota. Ele conquistou o título da IBF em 2025, e esta será a sua segunda defesa. A sua alta taxa de nocautes o estabelece como um dos socadores mais eficazes da categoria.  A unificação determinará o campeão absoluto entre a WBO e a IBF no superpena. No México, a luta será transmitida com atraso na Azteca 7, Disney+ e ESPN, a partir das 23:00 no horário central. O vencedor emergirá como a principal figura da classe de 130 pounds a nível mundial.
