Miguel “Alacran” Berchelt (31-1, 28 KO’s) will make the first defense of his World Boxing Council super-featherweight title against former world champion Takashi Miura (31-3-2, 24 KO`s) on July 15 at the Los Angeles Forum.
“I accepted this challenge because I want to fight only against the best,” said Miguel Berchelt adding: “I know Miura [Takashi] is a true warrior, but I’m young and hungry for glory, and I’m sure I’ll be back in Mexico with the WBC world championship belt around my waist!”
Miura, who starred the “Fight of the Year 2015” against Vargas, returns after total war with Miguel “Mickey” Román on the very same card during which Berchelt defeated Vargas for winning the crown.
“I`ve wanted to recover my belt ever since the very first minute I lost it in November 2015,” said Takashi Miura. “I know that Berchelt is strong, but nothing will stand in the way of my destiny,”
Berchelt Vs. Miura is a 12-round bout with the World Boxing Council super-featherweight title at stake; the card is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in partnership with Zanfer Promotions and Teiken Promotions.
