Abraham “Super” Pérez retained his WBA interim world flyweight championship with a unanimous decision over Puerto Rican challenger Yankiel “El Doctor” Rivera at the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to a WBABoxing report dated 9 November 2026.

The judges scored the 12-round bout 118-109, 120-107 and 118-109 in favour of the American, who was fighting in front of hometown fans. The report said Pérez controlled the fight from the opening bell with sharp footwork and a consistent jab, while Rivera struggled to establish his power combinations. Rivera tried to press on the inside and cut off the ring, but the report said he repeatedly met Pérez's counterpunching, including body hooks and uppercuts.

As the rounds progressed, the report said Rivera's attacks slowed while Pérez stayed composed and finished rounds with higher punch output. The victory, it added, reinforces Pérez's standing as interim champion.
