Cruz finally got his hands on a world title at the expense of the polarizing Rolando Romero in March.
The eighth round stoppage win served as a warning to his fellow super-lightweight contenders that Cruz was the real deal and that his showing in defeat against superstar Gervonta Davis was not a one-off.
Cruz vs. Valenzuela could well be the fight of the night. All-Mexican world title fights rarely fail to deliver an exciting spectacle and this one will be no different but put simply Cruz is the better boxer and will show why.
