“For me and my team, being a three-division world champion will be the culmination of yet another goal in my career,” Navarrete said at the pre-fight press conference. “We know that it won’t be easy. But, by doing that, I’ll feel that I have done something good in my career, and I’ll be satisfied with what I have achieved in my 10 years as a professional boxer.”
Wilson turned pro in 2018. An Australian super-featherweight champion, Wilson lost to Joe Noynay in 2021 for the WBO Asia Pacific super-featherweight title. He rebounded by winning two in a row, his last bout a unanimous decision win over Matias Rueda in June for the WBO International super-featherweight title.
“This is a chance to fulfill my dream and become a world champion,” Wilson said. “I’ve done 17 years of hard work for this moment. I’ve put in a lot of hard work. I’ve fought whoever they’ve put in front of me. I’m ready for Friday night.”
