Vicente vs Chaves: October 11 in Buenos Aires for the WBO Latino Lightweight Title
On October 11, 2025, Buenos Aires will host a fight that promises sparks: Cuban Pablo Vicente (24-3, 17 KO) meets Argentine Alan Chaves (20-0, 17 KO) for the WBO Latino lightweight title. A clash between two different boxing worlds — a seasoned veteran and an unbeaten rising star — with regional gold on the line.
Pablo Vicente: Cuban experience in the ring
Vicente is one of the boxers forged by the Cuban tradition, still widely respected worldwide. Tall, technically sound and with solid international experience, he has faced high-level opponents and knows how to manage the pace of a long fight. In recent years he has alternated wins and setbacks, but remains an uncomfortable opponent for anyone. His ability to read the ring and exploit key moments could prove decisive in Argentina.
Alan Chaves: the unbeaten “Veneno” dreaming big
The Buenos Aires crowd will be fully behind Alan “Veneno” Chaves, an emerging Argentine talent who built a perfect record: 20 wins in 20 fights, with 17 KOs. Chaves is known for his aggression, punching power and the determination to always look for the stoppage. For him this defense of the WBO Latino title is not only a confirmation of his status but also a springboard toward bigger international stages.
A bout that stakes more than a regional belt
This is not just another regional fight. The WBO Latino title is a gateway into world rankings and the winner will move significantly closer to opportunities at higher-level belts. For Chaves, beating an experienced opponent like Vicente would be definitive consecration as the new face of Argentine boxing. For Vicente, a victory in Argentina would relaunch his career and prove he can still compete at high levels outside Cuba.
What to expect in the ring
The fight presents a cross of styles and generations. Chaves is likely to try to impose his aggressive tempo early and use the power that made him one of South America’s most feared prospects. Vicente, on the other hand, will rely on experience and time management, attempting to blunt the crowd’s momentum and take the fight into the later rounds, where his ring intelligence could weigh more than the opponent’s freshness.
