In the case of Baez, the southpaw will step into the ring for the first time in 2023. His last fight was at the end of last year, when he defeated American Kevin Johnson (12-2) by unanimous decision in Las Vegas. 

Baez (19-2 / 17), is 31 years old, and has an impressive knockout power of over 80% and has a streak of three wins and two losses in his last five fights. He suffered a tough knockout loss to American Ruben Torres (19-1) in mid-2022.
