The Chavez family is known in boxing for the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez and his passion for the sport was inherited by his sons, in fact this weekend, one of them will return to the ring, after a year of absence.

In this case, we are talking about Omar Chavez (38-7-1, 25 KOs) who on June 18, 2022 will face Rafael Ortiz (14-14-1, 9 KOs) in his native Culiacan, Sinaloa, at the Julio Cesar Chavez Sports Center, so at home and in front of his people he hopes to give a good show and come out with his hand up again.

When was Omar Chávez's last fight?

It was precisely in 2021 that Omar 'Businessman Terremoto' Chávez stepped into the ring to face Ramón 'Inocente' Álvarez, brother of 'Canelo' and in this fight the Guadalajara born fighter won, after eight rounds the judges defined victory by unanimous decision.

Since then, the son of boxing's 'Cesar' stepped away from the gloves and the ring. However, at 32 years of age, he decided to return to this profession that in his family is like a religion.

Omar Chávez's words

"I haven't fought for a long time, I've missed it, haven't I? I'm excited, I'm happy to be back here in Culiacan, which is my home, with a lot of desire, a lot of determination, I miss going into the ring", said Omar Chavez in his presentation to this fight.

On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the career of 'Terremoto' Chavez promised more, after debuting in 2006 with a first round knockout and then extending his undefeated until December 2011, where he lost to Jorge 'Maromerito' Paez Jr. by majority decision.

Since then, his career has been a roller coaster with victories and heavy defeats, in fact, against Ramon 'Inocente' Alvarez he has already lost twice, as well as against Jorge 'Maromerito' Paez Jr. who could not beat him in the two fights he agreed with the Mexican.
