World Boxing Organization President, Gustavo Olivieri, has announced on X that the WBO has officially approved Mexican contender Neider Valdez to challenge WBO minimumweight champion Oscar Collazo in the main event this Saturday (June 20) at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, and live on DAZN.
Collazo, 14-0 (11 KOs), who also holds the WBA belt, was supposed to face Filipino Joey Canoy, however visa issues sidelined that idea. Original replacement challenger Luis Castillo of Mexico ran into similar problems, preventing him from filling the spot.
