US EditionBoxing world champion to have controversial win overturned after video replay
- Emanuel Navarrete, the Mexican WBO super-featherweight champion, won a controversial fight against Charly Suarez in San Diego in early May 2025.
- The fight ended early due to a cut above Navarrete's left eyebrow, initially ruled as caused by a headbutt but disputed after video replay showed a punch might have caused it.
- The ringside doctor stopped the fight in the eighth round due to impaired vision from the cut, leading to a technical decision favoring Navarrete, who was ahead on the scorecards.
- Officials including Jack Reiss reported no conclusive evidence that a punch caused the cut initially, but the California State Athletic Commission plans to overturn the win to a no-contest following rare post-fight video review.
- If overturned, Navarrete will retain his title, and a rematch with Suarez, who remains undefeated except for the disputed loss, is expected amid fan calls for fairness.
