Biography
Eduardo “Sugar” Núñez is a rising Mexican star born on July 25th, 1997, in the super featherweight division, known for his fierce knockout power and relentless forward pressure. Born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Núñez turned professional in 2015 and built a fearsome reputation with a remarkable knockout-to-win ratio. Standing 5'6" with a 68-inch reach, the orthodox fighter has steadily carved out a name for himself in a division rich with talent.
After stringing together 27 wins - 26 of them by stoppage - Núñez earned his shot at a world title. On May 28, 2025, he traveled to Yokohama, Japan, to face Masanori Rikiishi for the vacant IBF super-featherweight championship. Núñez showcased a more mature, tactical approach, winning by unanimous decision after 12 hard-fought rounds. It marked the first time he won a fight without scoring a knockout, highlighting his evolution beyond just raw power.
