Jiménez to defend WBC Youth featherweight crown against Fray Millán in Venezuela

Hard-hitting WBC Youth Featherweight Champion Alexander Jiménez (13-0-1, 8 KOs) will make the first defense of his title when he faces undefeated Venezuelan contender Fray Millán (12-0, 12 KOs) on Saturday, June 27, in Venezuela.

22-year-old prospect Jiménez captured the WBC Youth Featherweight title on April 18 by defeating Anthony González via majority decision, establishing himself as one of the division’s most promising young talents.

Now, the champion will look to preserve his unbeaten record and strengthen his reign against an opponent who has built an impressive reputation by stopping every fighter he has faced to retain a perfect record.

The Venezuelan-born champion boasts an outstanding record of 13 wins, no losses, and one draw, with eight victories coming by knockout.

18-year-old Millán, meanwhile, enters the bout with a perfect 12-0 record, having won all of his fights inside the distance, a statistic that adds even more intrigue to this matchup.

The fight represents a significant opportunity for both unbeaten rising stars. Titlist Jiménez aims to prove he is ready for the next step in his career, while dangerous challenger Millán will look to capitalize on the support of his hometown fans as he seeks to capture the WBC’s Green and Gold Youth belt.
