Mexican boxing will experience a nostalgic moment with the exhibition fight between Julio César Chávez and Jorge 'Travieso' Arce in Puebla. Although Chávez had previously hinted at a comeback, it was Puebla's governor, Alejandro Armenta, who officially announced the event. The fight is part of the Puebla Fair 2026 and will feature musical performances from artists like Alejandro Fernández and Morat. Scheduled for Saturday, May 9th, the exact time has not been confirmed. The proceeds from ticket sales will be used to build a center for people with addictions. Arce, facing his idol, expressed excitement and vowed to 'give it his all,' acknowledging the physical challenges of training at his age. Chávez stated that his return aims to inspire youth to stay away from addictions and embrace sports. Tickets for the fair, including the fight, can be purchased through the official event page on platforms like Boletiland and SuperBoletos.
