Emanuel Navarrete TKO11 Eduardo Nunez... Emanuel Navarrete unified the junior lightweight crowns on Saturday night with a TKO triumph over now frmer-IBF champion Eduardo Nunez. The pair arrived at Glendale, Arizona's's Desert Diamond Arena each seeking to secure a second strap to add to their own amid a crowded division scene. But it was Navarrete who added another belt to his collection, with an assured performance in Arizona to further underlines his credentials. Victory for Navarrete will increase the clamor for him to eye undisputed status across the junior-lightweight division heading deeper into 2026. For Nunez, handed just a second professional loss however, it is a result that will check his own ambitions, forcing a possible switch of weight. Entering to plenty of fanfare, the Mexican duo traded early on before Navarrete began to find greater purchase heading deeper into the contest. A series of heavy blows in the ninth round damaged Nunez, forcing the doctors to intervene before the contest was waved on to continue. Navarrete, already a three-weight champion, exploited the issues however, leaving his foe with a swollen eyes and the contest waved off shortly after. Now a two-belt champ and already a three-division. champ, Navarrete inches closer to Hall of Fame credentials.
