Miguel berchelt next fight
Former WBC junior lightweight champion Miguel Berchelt will take on Edixon Perez in a lightweight bout to headline a Zanfer Boxing event on October 11 in Reynosa, Mexico.
Berchelt (41-3, 36 KOs) will be competing as a 135-pounder for a fifth hour since suffering a vicious knockout against Oscar Valdez in 2021. The brutal stoppage ended Berchelt's five-year reign as a champion.
Berchelt didn't fare any better in the following fight, suffering another stunning stoppage loss to Jeremia Nakathila in 2022. But the 33-year-old Berchelt has steamrolled through second-rate opposition in Mexico ever since to secure a three-fight winning streak.
Perez (30-13-1, 24 KOs), a 33-year-old Venezuelan with just three wins over his last nine fights against unheralded opposition, is perceived as another durable stepping stone for Berchelt to see how much "El Alacran" still has left in the tank for another doable title run.
