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]

Suarez vs. Navarrete

[edit]

On March 20, 2025 it was reported that Suarez would challenge Emanuel Navarrete for his WBO super featherweight title in San Diego, CA, on May 10, 2025.[13][14] On March 25, 2025 the fight was confirmed.[15][16]The bout ended in controversy as the fight was stopped and ruled as a unanimous technical decision lost for Suarez with the scorecards of 78-75, 77-76, and 77-76 in favor for the champion.[17] After an eight-round stoppage due to a cut above on Navarrete's left eyebrow, on which was ruled by the referee(Edward Collantes) as an accidental headbutt. However, subsequent video analysis suggests the cut may have been caused by a punch from Suarez in the sixth round.[18] An appeal to the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), by team Suarez due to the result and that appeal will be heard at its meeting on June 2, 2025.[19]
