With both world champions, albeit from different weight classes, pulling off recent victories, Arum has placed the ball in their court in terms of making their contest a reality. Just a few months later, Valdez saw his stock take somewhat of a hit after eking out a controversial unanimous decision win over Robson Conceicao on September 10th. The 30-year-old, much like Stevenson, recently wrapped another world title around his waist as he dismantled Miguel Berchelt earlier this year. Valdez, to his credit, has publicly asked for a showdown with Stevenson as well. In spite of Stevenson’s criticism, the former 2016 Olympic silver medalist could be given no choice but to wait patiently on the sidelines. Following his win, Stevenson took aim at Valdez and claimed that Arum would be “protecting” his WBC champion if he placed him in the ring with Navarette as opposed to himself. The newly crowned WBO 130 pound champion truncated the title reign of Jamel Herring this past weekend at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Valdez’s experience includes planning and performing financial and compliance audits for a variety of areas, such as Colleges, School.
However, Shakur Stevenson would be none too pleased if their contest were to take place next. Oscar Valdez joined the County of Los Angeles Department of Auditor-Controller in July 2020, as the Chief Deputy Auditor-Controller, after serving as Assistant County Auditor-Controller in Riverside County.
“What about him and Valdez? That would be some fight.”Ī showdown between Valdez and Navarrete could placate several including the fighters, Arum, fight fans, and media pundits. “There’s a lot of places and a lot of good featherweights he can fight,” said Arum to. With that said, Arum is also intrigued by the possibility of Naverette moving up in weight to take on WBC 130 pound champion, Oscar Valdez. The 126-pound landscape has a slew of great fighters that Arum is more than willing to put his Top Rank promoted champion against. Arum couldn’t keep himself from smiling as the long-reigning champion fought a fight of the year contender en route to prolonging his championship status. The long-time promoter sat comfortably in his ringside seat less than two weeks ago as Naverrete defended his world title against Joet Gonzalez. Bob Arum has always been impressed with Emanuel Navarrete but his admiration for the WBO featherweight champion has seemingly gone to another level.
