Carlos Canizales narrowly missed out on claiming the Ring junior flyweight championship and is determined to earn another title shot with a win or two. Currently occupying the fifth spot in the 108-pound rankings by The Ring, Canizales will clash with Ivan Garcia in his hometown of Caracas, Venezuela. The 10-round match will be the headline bout of a card airing live on ESPN Knockout.

In his most recent bout, Canizales suffered a majority decision loss to Kenshiro Teraji, the Ring junior flyweight titleholder. While Canizales is confident in his ability to defeat Teraji in a potential rematch, his primary focus now is on his upcoming battle against Garcia.

Boasting a record of 26 wins, 2 losses, and 19 knockouts, Canizales has demonstrated his toughness in the ring by bouncing back from previous setbacks to secure victories. Tonight, he is committed to clinching a win and aiming for another shot at a world championship.

Garcia, holding a record of 12 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw with 4 knockouts, presents a tough challenge for Canizales. However, both fighters are eager for success, setting the stage for an enticing showdown.

Apart from the Canizales vs. Garcia main event, the card will showcase other exciting matchups, including former IBF super middleweight titleholder Jose Uzcategui against Fernando Brito and fringe junior welterweight contender Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela taking on Jesus Bravo.
