The 29-year-old Berchelt (37-1, 33 KOs and 1 No Contest) has recorded six consecutive defenses of his title since claiming it with an 11th-round knockout of Francisco Vargas in 2017. Berchelt stopped Eleazer Valenzuela in his last outing but it was later ruled a No Contest after not being sanctioned by the Mexico City Boxing Commission.

Valdez (28-0, 22 KOs) is a former WBO featherweight champion who decided to make the jump to super featherweight. He earned stoppages against Adam Lopez and Jayson Velez in two fights as a 130-pounder. Berchelt will certainly be his toughest opposition to date. 

It’s a highly anticipated showdown as the heavy-handed Valdez will look to stop a bigger and stronger opponent in the WBC champion.
