Wilson, with a record of 13-2 and 7 KOs, ventured into the U.S. ring with a bang, nearly toppling Emanuel Navarrete in a fierce fight for the WBO junior lightweight title at this very venue last year. Despite a setback in the ninth round, Wilson’s comeback trail includes victories over formidable opponents, showcasing his resilience and skill. Valdez, on the other hand, a proud two-time Olympian for Mexico, is bouncing back from a loss, eager to reaffirm his dominance in the ring.
In the heat of training in Nevada, Wilson shared his thoughts:
“Since clashing with Navarrete, I’ve stepped back into the ring twice, honing my craft, feeling more ready than ever. Returning to a familiar battleground, the anticipation is high. The fight on March 29 isn’t just another bout; it’s a chance to prove my mettle.”
“Valdez is on a mission to reclaim his glory, to show the world he’s still championship material. Predicting his strategy is tough; he’s as versatile as they come, a testament to his champion status across divisions.”
“Valdez’s approach might be up in the air – sometimes he’s all about the brawl, other times he’s ducking and weaving. Whatever he brings, I’m geared up for it, ready to stick to my plan but prepared to dive into the fray if that’s where the fight goes.”
