Former IBO world lightweight champion Jovanni Straffon looks to shake off a two-fight losing streak when he faces Jesus Bravo tonight.
Straffon was a surprise victor over James Tennyson in May 2021 to capture the IBO belt, but he immediately lost it to Maxi Hughes in his next fight and then proceeded to lose again to Zaur Abdullaev in his only bout of 2022. Now, the 29-year-old Mexican hopes a return to home soil will help put him back on track.
He'll take on a fighter in Bravo who earned a confidence-boosting knockout victory over Michael Suarez in March after losing three consecutive matches before that.
