Mirco Cuello and Christian Olivo will star in a World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight eliminator fight on February 1 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The bout will be part of the evening in which David Morrell and David Benavidez will fight for the WBA light heavyweight title in the main event and will feature big names in the first big event of the year in Las Vegas.
Cuello, a former member of the Argentine national team, has been a professional since 2020 and has been making the adjustment to professional boxing to become a hard puncher with great hand speed and good technique, making him a championship contender for the future.
The South American is 24 years old and has faced tough opponents whom he has managed to beat to earn this opportunity at 126 pounds and try to put his name in the elite.
His opponent will be Olivo, a 25-year-old Mexican known for his grit and strength. The Hermosillo native has only one loss in his career and that was to undefeated Luis Reynaldo Nunez in a unanimous decision. He has accumulated good experience so far and is in a good sporting moment, so the fight looks very interesting.
Cuello has 14 wins, no losses and 11 knockouts, while Olivo has 22 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 9 knockouts.
