Promising WBO Oriental super flyweight champion Warlito ?Cowboy? Parrenas fights for the WBO Interim world title against Mexico?s David Carmona on June 30 in Mexico City.
WBO Ratings Committee chairman Luis Batista said the winner of the Parrenas-Carmona fight must face champion Naoya Inoue within 90 days of the June 30 bout.
The 31 year old Parrenas who is ranked No. 1 by the WBO has a record of 24-6 with 21 knockouts and is on a seven fight wining streak.
He is coming off a 3rd round TKO of Thailand?s Kaichon Sor Vorapin last April 24 in a ?stay busy? fight.
Parrenas who won the WBO Oriental title over Junior Bajawa of Indonesia who retired in the 6th round on June 7, 2014 and has fought regularly on the Viva Sports weekly boxing show ?The Main Event?, had earlier suffered a crushing 1st round knockout at the hands of Mexico?s tough Oscar Blanquet in Tokyo on June 25, 2012 but has since recovered well and has looked impressive in his recent fights.
The 24 year old Carmona who is ranked No. 2 by the WBO has a record of 19-2-4 with 8 knockouts with one of his losses coming at the hands of then WBO super flyweight champion Omar Andres Narvaez of Argentina in Buenos Aires on December 21, 2013 when Carmona?s corner threw in the towel with 22 seconds remaining in round seven in a fight dominated by the southpaw Narvaez.
Reports from ringside said Narvaez got rough fighting on the inside and scored with some solid, chopping left hooks to Carmona who went down in round six when he got caught with a right uppercut followed by a left hook from Narvaez and although Carmona just beat the count. Narvaez kept up the pressure in round seven when Carmona?s corner decided it was time to ask the referee to call a halt.
