Luis Nery and Froilan Saludar battle it out in the main event live stream from Recinto Ferial Metepec in Metepec, Mexico on Saturday, July 8. The contest features Mexican former two-division world champion up against former title challenger from the Philippines. The pair squares off in the scheduled for 10 rounds bout at junior featherweight.
The 28-year-old Luis Nery looks to continue his campaign towards another title run in the competitive junior featherweight division.
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 junior featherweight 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.
