The Great Michael Carbajal born in Phoenix, Arizona, Ambassador of the World Boxing Council, will be at the fight between the Mexican Carlos Cuadras and the American Jesse Rodríguez, for the WBC super flyweight title, at the Footprint Center, in Phoenix.

Carbajal, along with the bout Supervisor and NABF representative, Joanna Aguilar, will be in charge of delivering the belt to the winner of the fight, which is presented by Matchroom Boxing and will be broadcast on DAZN.
Michael is one of the sports idols of Phoenix, Arizona, so he was chosen to have different activations for this important boxing card.

Carbajal was born on September 17, 1967 and debuted on February 24, 1989. Michael defeated Will Grigsby, who also became world light flyweight champion.
Undefeated in 14 bouts, Carbajal got his first shot at a world title on July 29, 1990, when he knocked out in seven rounds Muangchai Kittikasen, who was undefeated and was trying to make his fourth defense. Carbajal began a solid reign, which included successful defences against León Salazar and Robinson Cuesta; Macario Santos, Javier Vásquez, Héctor Luis Patri and Marcos Pacheco, until reaching the highly anticipated unification with the WBC champion, Mexican Humberto “Chiquita” González.

That fight was one of the best in small weights history. Carbajal fell to the canvas twice but recovered and ended up surprising “Chiquita” in the seventh round, on March 13, 1993, in Las Vegas. The rematch fight was another war, but this time the result was for González.

Carbajal was champion again in 1994 and that same year he fought for the third time with González, again losing in a close fight.
On March 16, 1996, he defeated Mexican Melchor Cob Castro, to become world champion yet again, only to lose to Colombian Mauricio Pastrana.
He retired from the ring on July 31, 1999, knocking out multiple Mexican world champion Jorge “Travieso” Arce, leaving behind a great legacy and becoming a source of pride for the forever Great City of Phoenix.
