This Saturday, May 2, an unbeaten collision will serve as a measuring stick for the 122-pound elite, as San Diego prospect Jorge Chávez squares off against Cathedral City’s José “Tito” Sánchez for the vacant WBA Continental USA super bantamweight title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Chávez (15-0-1, 8 KOs) heads into this matchup riding the momentum of silencing doubters in his last outing. After being held to a technical draw against Manuel Flores in 2025, Chávez left no room for controversy in the rematch this past January, delivering a composed and dominant performance that signaled his evolution as a fighter. For the San Diego native, a slot on the Ramírez-Benavídez undercard presents the perfect stage to claim his first piece of regional hardware.

On the other side, Sánchez (15-0, 9 KOs) arrives in Las Vegas fueled by personal motivation. Fresh off a highlight-reel knockout of Jesús Ramírez, “Tito” is looking to avenge his stablemate Flores’ loss to Chávez. Known for his aggressive style and relentless pressure, Sánchez figures to push the pace from the opening bell.

Chávez will likely lean on his long-range boxing and the experience gained in recent high-pressure bouts to keep Sánchez in check. For “Tito,” the key will be cutting off the ring and turning the fight into a grueling war of attrition where his punching power can take over. Chávez, however, has already made it clear—he’s prepared for whatever kind of fight comes his way.
