In a title bout for the championship, Puerto Rican Oscar Collazo takes on Filipino boxer Joey Canoy in a 12-round match. What’s on the line? Collazo’s WBA and WBO strawweight title belts. At the end of the contest, one of these fighters will have the title — or it will end with a draw.
On Saturday, June 20, Collazo (14-0-0) vs. Canoy (25-5-2) takes place at Frontwave Arena, in Oceanside, California with a start time of 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Ringwalk for the main event is expected around 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT.
For the Golden Boy Promotions bout, Oscar Collazo is looking to retain his WBA and WBO titles, while in pursuit of the IBF belt, so he could become the undisputed strawweight champion in boxing. This bout against Joey Canoy is one step closer to that goal in facing off against Pedro Taduran who, currently, holds the IBF title. For Canoy, he hasn’t lost a fight since 2019, despite the 25-5-2 record. He has a high knockout rate too, so it should be a good watch to see how Collazo handles the pressure.
Meanwhile, a few celebrities and star athletes may be in attendance during the main event. Most notably Bad Bunny, who is a good friend and fan of Oscar Collazo. The boxer has been known to share the stage with Bad Bunny in the past, especially during the Puerto Rican rapper’s residency in San Juan last year.
