19-year-old World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Welterweight champion Lucas Migotti will make his first defense against Argentina’s Jose Hugo “Chinito” Acevedo on November 23.
The fight will be the main event of a show at the Palais Des Sports in Lattes, on the outskirts of Montpellier, France.
A pro since March of 2023, Migotti, 9-1 (5), won the title last June when he stopped Denis Madry from Poland in the second round.
In former Argentinian and South American Lightweight champion Acevedo, 15-6-3 (8), he is facing a very experienced opponent who will fancy his chances against the young champion.
Acevedo (30) turned pro in 2016, and won the Argentina national title in April of 2019. Eight months later he added the South America crown to his resume.
The challenger has almost as many championship fights, eight, as Migotti has fights in total, while the Frenchman is only entering his second.
Migotti vs. Acevedo for the WBF Intercontinental Welterweight title will be promoted by Boxing Club Montpellierain.
