After losing a two-round shootout with Edwin De Los Santos in 2022, he dropped a hugely controversial decision to Chris Colbert the following March, only to destroy \u201cPrimetime\u201d in their rematch nine months later. A move to 140 saw him frustrate and outbox \u201cPitbull\u201d Cruz to claim the WBA title, then lose wide to Gary Antuanne Russell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I\u2019ve seen conflicting reports as to whether this will be at 135 or a catchweight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Torres (22-1, 19 KO) spent the first four years of his pro career racking up wins in his native Mexico, but lost comprehensively to Raymond Muratalla in his first step up. While he\u2019s since returned to his status quo, he represents a reasonably tough challenge at a weird point in Valenzuela\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DanRafael1\/status\/2014174105688314188\" rel=\"nofollow\">Per Dan Rafael<\/a>, the show will also see super welterweight contender Serhii Bohachuk (26-3, 24 KO) look to bounce back from his second loss to Brandon Adams against former welterweight title challenger Radzhab Butaev (16-1, 12 KO) and former unified light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk (21-2, 17 KO) continue down the comeback trail against longtime tripping hazard Radivoje Kalajdzic (29-3, 21 KO).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Assuming you\u2019re not tapped out from the approximately 30 events the day prior, not a bad way to spend a Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former super lightweight champion Jose \u201cRayo\u201d Valenzuela will headline a February 1st Zuffa Boxing show against Diego Torres&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-386413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
