The Super Middle Leweight Contender Diego Paczeco will get his 2025 early with the main event of Dazna from January 25 against Steven Nelson from Las Vegas, and the 24-year-old hopes that this is the year in which he will receive his first fight against the world title.
“It seems to me that after speaking with Steven Nelson I will be closer to the fight for the title of world champion,” Pakco said during media training.
“Of course, Canelo has three lanes and [William] Scull has a second belt. Or the one who would like to give me the opportunity would be amazing. Who will be the one who will give me a challenge? I don’t know, but I hope that this year I can fight for the title of world champion.
“This year I am 24 years antique and I think it’s the right time. I feel that I have gathered strength now. I am more concentrated than ever and I am ready.”
Pakco (22-0, 18 KO) recently fought on August 31, stopping Veteran MCUJ Sulecki in the sixth round, and also defeated Shawn McCalman in April or last year.
36-year-old Nelson (20-0, 16 KO) is also undefeated, but in many other ways. His age, of course, means that he is not a “perspective”, and for years it is also clear that from Omaha, supported by Terenka Crawford, was a more professional warrior to an incomplete hour, usually fighting excessive opponents and rarely counting on anything else except Crawford Undercard. He did not fight at all in 2021, and then only once in 2022-24, all at Crawford shows.
However, Nelson has talent, and Pacco cannot afford to ignore the threat it states, which includes some power to hit. While on Nelson paper he is more a pretender for the bangs, for people who are with him in the ring to think, and Pakco will have to focus and impress, especially if he really wants this title this year.

About plans at 2025: “Excels looking to the future for the next 12 months. I have a lot of hunger to continue working and prepare for these up-to-date challenges. Basically, just close and is ready for the Modern Year and all challenges.”
On Steven Nelson: “I know Steven Nelson from being one of the fighters of Terenka Crawford. I know that he comes from Omah, Nebraska and that he is 36 years antique. This is almost this. For me he is only another opponent. I come to knock him out.”
About what it is like to fight with someone supported by Crawford: “This makes it a humorous fight. Having the highest pound-in-lion’s pound, such as Crawford in your corner, is always a good thing, but he can’t get there and fight for him. It can be a good cheerleader on the side, but it’s actually it.”
About Nelson’s experience on gigantic programs: “It seems to me that Crawford-Madrimov Pay-Per-View was a great experience for him, and maybe this sense of confidence made him think he was ready like me. A ring with a warrior like me.”
