Pound-for-Pound Puerto Rican Champion Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo to Defend Unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine Minimumweight World Titles Against the Philippines’ Joey Canoy PhilBoxing.com Sat, 30 May 2026  Saturday, June 20 — Live from Frontwave Arena in Oceanside Calif. and Broadcast Worldwide Exclusively on DAZN TICKETS ON SALE TODAY VIA AXS.COM OCEANSIDE, Calif. (May 29, 2026) — Widely regarded as one of boxing’s premier pound-for-pound fighters, undefeated WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine Minimumweight World Champion Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo (14-0, 11 KOs) of Villalba, Puerto Rico, will return to Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, Calif., to defend his unified titles against General Santos City, Philippines native Joey Canoy (25-5-2, 15 KOs). The 12-round world championship bout will stream live worldwide on DAZN on Saturday, June 20, and is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Miguel Cotto Promotions. Collazo was last seen delivering another dominant title defense against Mexico’s Jesus “Chiquito” Haro, forcing a stoppage at the conclusion of the sixth round after Haro’s corner advised the referee to halt the contest. With his relentless pressure, elite skill set, and growing résumé of championship victories, Collazo continues to cement his status among the sport’s pound-for-pound elite. Canoy enters the bout as a dangerous and battle-tested contender, having previously challenged for a world title and capturing the WBC International mini-flyweight title in April 2025. Known for his relentless pressure and knockout power, the Filipino contender now looks to shock one of boxing’s top champions on the global stage. “I'm so excited to be back in the ring this June 20th against a great and proven opponent like Joey Canoy,” said Oscar Collazo. “Fights like these are what keep my career going and motivate me to give my all in every training camp and every fight night. I'm always grateful to Miguel Cotto Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions for keeping me active and for working to get me the best fights for my career. We remain focused, hungry, and ready for another great challenge.” “I have been dreaming about this all my life,” said Joey Canoy. “Thank you to my team Sanman boxing and Miguel Cotto promotions for giving me a chance to fight for my dream. I am training hard and I have a month to go. I will do everything to get an upset.” “Oscar Collazo should be at the top of everyone’s pound-for-pound list, and on June 20, he’s going to remind the world exactly why,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya. “He has already beaten many of the best fighters in the division, and instead of taking the easy road, he continues to seek out the toughest challenges available and is stepping into the ring against a top contender in Joey Canoy because that’s what true champions do. Oscar never shies away from greatness; he runs toward it. From top to bottom, this card is loaded with some of Golden Boy’s most exciting prospects and proven contenders, guaranteeing an action-packed night of world-class boxing that Southern California fight fans will not want to miss.” “Collazo is among the elite of boxing as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world,” said Chairman of Miguel Cotto Promotions, Miguel Cotto. “On Saturday, June 20, he will test his skill once again against Joey Canoy. It will be a true fireworks display in a clash of styles that fans cannot afford to miss.” Tickets for Collazo vs Canoy go on-sale today, Friday, May 29 at 10:00 am PT and are priced at $100, $75, $50 and $30 plus applicable fees.
