Saúl Juárez Gil (born 28 November 1990) is a Mexican professional boxer who is a former mini-flyweight and light-flyweight world-title challenger.
Career
Juárez turned pro in 2010. He had a successful amateur career.[1] Juárez won the Cinturón de Oro, an annual tournament for novice boxers, early on in his career. Juárez lost an IBF light-flyweight title eliminator to Milan Melindo in 2014.[2] Juárez then beat Adrián Hernández twice on back-to-back fights and then defeated Oswaldo Novoa to earn a world title shot. On 2 August 2015, he faced Wanheng Menayothin for the WBC mini-flyweight title in Chonburi. Wanheng seemed to control the fight, outjabbing and outboxing Juárez and won a close unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 116-113).[3]
Juárez lost his next three fights, to Leroy Estrada, Gilberto Pedraza, and Abraham Rodríguez. Then he won against Gilberto Parra, stopping him with a barrage of punches in round 9.[4] Juárez will get another world title shot on 31 December 2018 against Ken Shiro.
