🥊 Paro Seeks Redemption After Title Loss
After rising to stardom by capturing the IBF Super Lightweight title with a stunning win over Subriel Matias in June 2024, Liam Paro’s reign was short-lived. He dropped the belt to Richardson Hitchins in December in a tough contest that ended his unbeaten title run.
Now with a one-fight deal under No Limit Boxing, the 29-year-old returns to fight on Australian soil for the first time since 2022.
“The intention is we move on; we dust ourselves off; we go again; get another belt,” Paro told BoxingScene.
“Hitchins has already said in interviews he believes he’ll see me in a unification one day — I know I’m capable.”
🇺🇸 Navarro Looks to Upset the Home Favorite
American fighter Jonathan “Thunder” Navarro (18-1) heads into the bout looking to build momentum after returning from a five-year layoff. He is 1-1 in his last two outings, and with nine career knockouts, he brings serious power to the welterweight showdown.
Paro will have the crowd behind him, but Navarro has experience on the big stage and won’t be fazed by the occasion.
