Emanuel Navarrete vs Charley Suarez Result Officially Changed
- Emanuel Navarrete and Charly Suarez faced off on May 10, 2025, in a bout for the WBO super featherweight title held at a venue in San Diego.
- The fight was halted after the eighth round because of a cut above Navarrete’s left eyebrow, which the referee initially attributed to an accidental headbutt, but later video evidence revealed the injury resulted from a punch.
- Navarrete was initially declared the winner by technical decision on the scorecards, however, following an appeal from Suarez, the fight’s result was reviewed and subsequently changed to a no contest by the state commission overseeing the bout.
- The World Boxing Organization has mandated an immediate rematch, a directive that promoter Bob Arum confirmed Top Rank will comply with.
- The ruling allows Suarez to challenge Navarrete again once the latter's medical suspension ends in July, indicating the fight remains unresolved and will resume later.
