Undefeated WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine Minimumweight World

Villalba, Puerto Rico, hosted a media workout on Wednesday
ahead of his unified world title defense against General
Santos City, Philippines’ Joey Canoy (25-5-2, 15 KOs). The
12-round championship bout will stream live worldwide on
DAZN on Saturday, June 20, from Frontwave Arena in
