Top-Ranked Charly Suarez Facing Manuel Avila, Plus Two
More Fights Added To July 18 ProBoxTV Event
ProBoxTV has added three more televised fights to their
already stacked Saturday, July 18, live broadcast (7:00 pm
ET/4:00 pm PT), from the NOS Events Center in San
Bernardino, California.
Joining the festivities will be a 10-round super
featherweight battle between WBO No. 1- and WBC No.
11-ranked Charly “King’s Warrior” Suarez, 18-0 (10 KOs), of
Manila, Philippines, and Manuel Avila, 26-2-1 (9 KOs), of
Fairfield, California.
A brave soldier in the Philippine army, Suarez has elected
to keep his skills sharp by putting his mandated rematch
against WBO world super featherweight champion Emanuel
Navarrete and his WBO No. 1 status on the line against
Avila.
Suarez first challenged champion Navarrete in May of last
year and the fight was halted in the eighth due to a
Navarrete cut over his left eye that referee Edward
Collantes ruled to have been caused by an accidental
headbutt.
The original verdict was a unanimous technical decision in
favor of Navarrete.
However, the fight was changed to a No Contest when the
California State Athletic Commission reviewed video replays
that revealed the cut had been caused by a punch from Suarez
and that, ultimately, he should have been awarded the
victory and Navarrete’s title.
The WBO ordered an immediate rematch between the two,
however delays have prompted Suarez to risk this dangerous
fight against Avila to ensure his skills are sharp when the
second title opportunity materializes.
Also added is a 10-round super welterweight contest between
IBF USBA super welterweight champion and top-ranked Yan
Marcos, 15-0 (10 KOs), of Miami via Cuba, and Guido Emmanuel
Schramm, 17-4-3 (10 KOs), of Los Angeles via Argentina, as
well as six-round featherweight contest featuring Oscar
Bonifacino, 4-0-1 (3 KOs), of Maldonado, Uruguay, taking on
Raul Escudero, 4-0, of Pamplona, Spain.

of Las Vegas via Juarez, Mexico, goes to war with Jonathan
“Thunder” Navarro Flores, 18-2 (9 KOs), of East Los Angeles.
In the 10-round super welterweight co-feature, Joshua Kevin
Anton (13-0, 12 KOs) of Palmdale, California, takes on
Vladimir Hernandez (17-7, 7 KOs) of Stockton, California via
