Moisés Fuentes Rubio (20 September 1985 – 24 November 2022) was a Mexican professional boxer who held the WBO minimumweight title from 2011 to 2013 and the WBO interim junior flyweight title from 2013 to 2014.
Professional career
He turned pro in 2007. On 6 February 2010, Fuentés won a ten-round unanimous decision over Mexican Eduardo González to capture his first title, the interim WBC Youth minimumweight belt in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
WBO minimumweight champion
On 27 August 2011, Fuentés won a twelve-round split decision over Raúl García to capture the WBO minimumweight title. The bout was held at the Auditorio Benito Juárez, in Guadalajara. He would go on to vacate the title as he moved up to junior flyweight.
Personal life and death
Fuentes suffered a blood clot in his brain as the result of a 2021 fight with David Cuellar. He never fought again after that and complications from the injury resulted in his death at the age of 37 on November 24, 2022. That was his fifth loss in the last six matches, and his third consecutive inside the distance defeat.
