IBF #1 Mandatory Challenger Eduardo Nunez Added to Pacheco-Sulecki Undercard On August 31st

Press Release:

Eduardo ‘Sugar’ Nunez will face Miguel Marriaga to lead the undercard on Saturday August 31, where Diego Pacheco headlines against Maciej Sulecki at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles, live worldwide on DAZN.

Nunez (27-1 27 KOs) extended his 100 per cent record of wins inside the distance with a career-best performance in February, entering enemy territory in Tajikistan to take out former world ruler Shavkhatdzon Rakhimov in the 11th round of their final eliminator for the IBF Junior Lightweight title. ‘Sugar’ is sitting pretty as the #1 contender for the crown that is held by Anthony Cacace, and the 27 year old will be looking to keep his KO run going to prove he’s ready to fight for the title.

Marriaga (31-7 26 KOs) is out to derail those plans, and in doing so, the Colombian can stake his own claim for a fourth World title shot, having previously faced Nicholas Walters, Oscar Valdez and Vasiliy Lomachenko for World honors at 126 and 130lbs.
