Professional career

Suarez, a 2016 Olympian, turned professional in 2019 and has made up for his late start in the pros, fighting five times in 2022 against solid competition. He stopped Indonesian Defry Palulu in two rounds on December in Vietnam. The Paul Fleming fight was his second straight fight abroad, winning a 12 round TKO claiming four titles.

Suarez together with Chavit Singson signed a contract with Top Rank Inc. on July 1, 2023, in preparation for the fight against Yohan "La Fiera" Vasquez of the Dominican Republic on August 26, 2023, at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA. [7] Charly Suarez bests Yohan Vasquez by unanimous decision and still remain undefeated the scores were 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93. [8]

Suarez was scheduled to face Andres Cortes for the vacant WBO International super featherweight titlein Glendale, Arizona, on September 20, 2024. [9] On September 12, 2024 it was reported that Cortes withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Jorge Castaneda. [10] Suarez won by stoppage in the third round. [11] [12]

WBO super featherweight championship

Suarez vs. Navarrete

On March 19, 2025, it was reported that Emanuel Navarrete would make a fourth defense of his WBO title against Suarez, who was ranked first by the WBO. The fight was scheduled to take place on May 10, 2025 airing live on ESPN at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. [13] [14] The bout ended in controversy by the eighth round, as Navarrete was unable to continue after suffering a cut over his left eyebrow, which referee Edward Collantes determined to be the result of an accidental clash of heads; as a result, the fight went to the scorecards, which read 78-75, 77-76, and 77-76 in favor of Navarrete. [15] However, new footage released sometime after the fight suggested that the cut may have been caused by a punch from Suarez in the sixth round, and if the referee had ruled it as such, then Suarez would have won by TKO. [16] Subsequently, team Suarez appealed to the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). [17] On June 2, 2025, the CSAC overturned Navarrete's unanimous technical decision win to a no contest, prompting the WBO to order a rematch. [18]
