Most Valuable Prospects 12 will return to the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando on May 9, available globally for free on both DAZN.com and the DAZN app with no subscription required. Boxlab Promotions is serving as the official licensed promoter.
The main card will be headlined by 25-year-old undefeated Cuban Olympian Dainier “The Fear” Pero (10-0, 8 KOs) against 25-year-old Mexican heavyweight Cesar “Chaka” Navarro (13-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-round heavyweight bout.
In the co-main event, Orlando’s Corey “2Smoove” Marksman (10-0-1, 7 KOs) will aim to preserve his undefeated record against Huntington Beach, California’s fellow unbeaten powerhouse Tayden “The Butcher” Beltran (10-0-1, 5 KOs) in an 8-round lightweight bout.
Pero will be making his fifth appearance in the Most Valuable Prospects series following his current six-bout TKO winning streak. Pero most recently defeated Walter Burns last December by a sensational first-round TKO. He's promoted by Boxlab Promotions.
Navarro, who stands 6-feet, is a native of Mexico who lives in Phoenix. He's known for his classic Mexican fighting style – aggressive, strong – and he's fast. He will look to test Pero’s rise in the division with his own sensational knockout power, having finished nine opponents in the first round so far in his pro career.
