ESPN and ESPN Deportes will cover the World Boxing Council world super featherweight title fight between Jason Sosa (23-3-4, 16 knockouts) and defending champion Miguel Berchelt (36-1, 32 knockouts) on November 2, 2019 from the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. This championship fight is scheduled for 12 rounds.
Fight Preview
A major contributing factor in this matchup between Sosa and Berchelt was Sosa’s impressive performance in his last bout. Sosa scored a dominating seventh round knockout win over Haskell Lydell Rhodes on August 10 in Philadelphia which caught the attention of promoters. Yet another positive about this pairing is that each fighter brings an exciting style. Neither is passive or conservative and this more flamboyant manner was a key component in putting the matchup together. As a matter of fact, Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti alluded to that.
"Stylistically, I think it's a can't-miss fight," Moretti said. "Jason looked really good in his last fight in Philadelphia, and Berchelt always looks good. Combined that with the fight being at Dignity Health Sports Park, which has a great tradition of hosting great fights, and I think you have the making of a fight-of-the-year candidate."
Another important factor in this fight is that the winner will get an even bigger matchup down the road.
"I think it leads to a bigger fight in the first quarter of 2020 for the winner," said Moretti. "Either a unification fight or possibly a fight against Oscar Valdez."
Berchelt is eager for the bout and the opportunities that will come with it. He set the tone that includes a Mexican and Puerto Rican angle. Berchelt also offered a prediction for the bout.
“On November 2 there will be another classic war between a Mexican and a Puerto Rican warrior,” said Berchelt. “I will prove once again that I am the best and most spectacular super featherweight in the world. This title ain’t going anywhere.”
For his part Sosa is eager for the opportunity to have a shot at a new title.
“I can’t express how happy and grateful I am to Top Rank and Russell Peltz for once again working together to give me another shot at becoming world champion.” Said Sosa. “I am training harder than ever. I want this so bad and I am not going to let anything stop what God has planned for me. We are incredibly focused knowing the importance of this fight. Berchelt is a strong opponent and we are not taking his talents lightly. We both throw a lot of punches so expect an action-packed fight that will be the next chapter in the Mexico vs., Puerto Rico rivalry. On November 2 I plan on becoming a two-time world champion.”
