Saúl Juárez Gil (born 28 November 1990) is a Mexican professional boxer who challenged for the WBC strawweight title in 2016 and the WBC light-flyweight title in 2018.

Career

Juárez turned pro in 2010. He had a successful amateur career.[1] Juárez won the Cinturón de Oro, an annual tournament for novice boxers, early on in his career. Juárez lost an IBF light-flyweight title eliminator to Milan Melindo in 2014.[2] Juárez then beat Adrián Hernández twice on back-to-back fights and then defeated Oswaldo Novoa to earn a world title shot. On 2 August 2015, he faced Wanheng Menayothin for the WBC strawweight title in Chonburi. Wanheng seemed to control the fight, outjabbing and outboxing Juárez and won a close unanimous decision (116-112, 115–113, 116–113).[3]

Juárez lost his next three fights, to Leroy Estrada, Gilberto Pedraza, and Abraham Rodríguez. Then he won against Gilberto Parra, stopping him with a barrage of punches in round 9.[4] Juárez will get another world title shot on 31 December 2018 against Ken Shiro.
