Rising
star Samantha Worthington (7-0, 6 KOs) takes on
former four-time world champion Yazmin Rivas
(40-11, 11 KOs) for the vacant UBO world Super
Lightweight title, and the co-feature is equally
intriguing.
Los
Angeles-based Nigerian Emeka “Lionheart” Nwokolo
(11-1, 10 KOs) is set to face Clinton “Native
Kid” Chavez (7-1, 4 KOs), fighting out of
Albuquerque, for the vacant UBO International
Super Welterweight title.
Nwokolo,
a pro for just over two years, is moving fast in
the paid ranks. Since a chock defeat to Didier
Castillo in July of 2022, he has scored four
convincing victories and won WBF and ABF titles.

Last
December he stayed busy with a second round
stoppage of Jose Quintero Valverde in Mexico, and
he is now ready to add another belt to his
collection in the former home-town of “The
Greatest”.
Clinton
Chavez will have his own plans, though, as he
enters his first title fight with confidence,
coming off a good victory over previously
undefeated Cesar Alvarado in November.
It could be
argued that both men are, in each-other, facing
their best opponent to date, and it shapes up to
be an action-packed encounter at a venue filled
with history.
