Panamanian boxer Ricardo 'The Scientist' Núñez will get his second chance to win a world title. Six years after his first attempt, he is once again fighting for a championship belt. The bout for the interim World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title will take place this Saturday, January 10th, at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. His opponent will be Cuban Jadier Herrera. 'The Scientist' Núñez considers his past defeat a valuable experience. In his fight against Gervonta Davis in 2019, he was defeated by technical knockout in the second round. Núñez is known for his powerful right hand. His opponent, 23-year-old Cuban Jadier Herrera, is known for his power, constant pressure, and tendency to force opponents into uncomfortable situations. During yesterday's official weigh-in, both boxers had no trouble making the weight limit for the 134-pound category, coming in one pound under. The Panamanian's fight will be streamed live on the DAZN platform.
