From Mexico City, reigning WBO junior featherweight belt holder Emanuel Navarrete (31-1, 27 KOs) faces Uriel Lopez (13-13-1, 6 KOs) in a non-title bout at featherweight. It's not clear how long Navarette, who has been one of the most active world titlists since winning his belt from Isaac Dogboe in December 2018, will be a 122-pounder.

"We are thinking about maybe fighting this year at 122, then in 2021, going to 126," said Navarrete through a translator. "As each fight passes, I feel that it's getting more and more difficult for me to make 122, because I'm still developing and growing physically.

"So yeah, it's becoming more difficult to make the weight. My body is asking me to move up."

But there is one particular thing that would keep him at junior featherweight -- a fight against bantamweight king Naoya Inoue, if Inoue moves up.

"In reality, that's one of the fights that I think would keep me at 122, but it has to be soon," Navarrete said "I cannot be waiting around to see if he's going to come up to 122 or not. If not, I will seriously consider moving up to 126 pounds."

The full card:

• Emanuel Navarrete vs. Uriel Lopez, 10 rounds, junior featherweights​
• Carlos Ornelas vs. Edwin Palomares, 10 rounds, featherweights​
• Sergio Chirino Sanchez vs. Gustavo Alan Pina, 8 rounds, featherweights​
• Ivan Armando Garcia vs. Roberto Palomares, 6 rounds, flyweights​

Other than the Dogboe rematch, Navarrete's title reign is embarrassing
