Saturday evening brings an under-the-radar but potentially action-packed junior flyweight bout. Elwin Soto makes his return following a championship loss and faces the slowly returning Hekkie Budler in a 12-round bout that will serve as a WBC eliminator bout.

The fight tops a card taking place in Baja California, Mexico. It gets going at 9 p.m. and we can expect ring walks for Soto and Budler to begin in the 11 p.m. hour. The event will air on ESPN+.

Soto enters the bout as a sizable favorite, installed at -600 at DraftKings Sportsbook. He lost his WBO title last October in a split decision loss to Jonathan Gonzalez. He had previously won four defenses after claiming the belt with a 12th round KO of Ángel Acosta in 2019.

Budler is a +425 underdog as he continues a slow return to boxing. Budler last fought in May 2021, winning a unanimous decision over Jonathan Almacen to claim the then vacant WBC Silver title. Prior to that, Budler had a three-year layoff. He lost a 2018 title bout against Hiroto Kyoguchi via 10th round TKO, and that cost him the WBA and The Ring titles. That was his second loss in three fights and third in six.

Budler is currently the WBC’s No. 1 ranked contender while Soto is No. 3. Kenshiro Teraji is the WBC title holder and would likely face the winner of Soto-Budler.

Two former world champions will battle for one more shot at title glory. Mexico’s Elwin “La Pulga” Soto and South African two-weight world champion Hekkie “The Hexecutioner” Budler will collide in a 12-round WBC light flyweight title eliminator this Saturday, June 25, at Palenque Fex in Mexicali, Mexico.

Soto hails from San Felipe, a two-hour drive from Mexicali, and will have the home crowd advantage. Budler, from Johannesburg, is a 34-year-old veteran who will be making only his third career appearance in North America.

Soto-Budler tops a loaded night of fights streaming live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Soto (19-2, 13 KOs) won the WBO light flyweight title in June 2019 with a come-from-behind 12th-round stoppage over Angel “Tito” Acosta.

He successfully defended that belt four times over the next two years, finally losing his belt last October to Jonathan Gonzalez by split decision. He has not fought since the Gonzalez defeat and hopes a win over Budler will earn him a shot at WBC world champion Kenshiro Teraji.

Budler (33-4, 10 KOs) has been 12 rounds 17 times and won the WBA 105-pound title in March 2014 when he stopped Karluis Diaz in one round. He defended that belt four times before losing a tight decision to Byron Rojas.

In May 2018, Budler edged Ryoichi Taguchi by decision to win the WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine 108-pound titles. His reign as the top 108-pounder lasted a little more than seven months. After taking a little more than two years off, Budler returned last May in Johannesburg and won the WBC Silver light flyweight belt with a unanimous decision over Jonathan Almacen.
