David Picasso vs. Maicol Rincon - August 29, 2026

[Ruthless-RKO]

David Picasso set for featherweight return, August 29 in Mexico

Former junior featherweight title challenger David Picasso is ready for the next chapter of his career.

Picasso (32-1-1, 17 KOs) will take on Maicol Rincon (16-3-2, 8 KOs) on August 29 at Sala Urbana in Naucalpan, Mexico, Picasso’s hometown. Jab Promotions, which represents Picasso, also announced that they’ll fight for the WBC silver featherweight title, which signaled Picasso’s move from the junior featherweight limit of 122 pounds to 126.

Picasso unsuccessfully challenged undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue in his last fight, which headlined “The Ring V: Night of the Samurai” card December 27 at Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Japan’s Inoue (33-0, 27 KOs) made mostly easy work of Picasso in their 12-round fight for Inoue’s Ring, IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO belts. Inoue out-landed Picasso 117 to 62 and notched a unanimous decision via scores of 120-108, 119-109 and 117-111.
Picasso is ranked No. 7 by The Ring at 122 pounds.

By going the WBC route for his next bout at 126 pounds, the 26-year-old contender appears to be eyeing WBC featherweight champion Bruce Carrington (18-0, 10 KOs) for a fight down the line. Rincon is an unknown 29-year-old fighter from Bogota, Colombia who is winless in his last two fights and looking to spoil Picasso’s plans.

David Picasso Begins a New Chapter Against Maicol Rincón

David “Rey” Picasso is ready to write a new chapter in his career.

On August 29, the Mexico City native will return to the ring to face Colombia’s Maicol Rincón for the WBC Silver Featherweight Championship at Sala Urbana in Naucalpan, State of Mexico. The bout will mark the beginning of a new stage for the Mexican fighter, who will look to reestablish himself among the division’s leading contenders on the road to a world championship opportunity.

The fight represents much more than a belt. Picasso enters the bout after facing one of the world’s best pound-for-pound fighters, Naoya Inoue, an experience that provided him with valuable lessons that he now hopes to turn into growth inside the ring. It will also be his first fight as a member of the team led by Eddy Reynoso and Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez, an alliance that has generated significant excitement within Mexican boxing.

The showdown with Rincón will also mark Picasso’s continued development at 126 pounds, a division in which he intends to build his path toward a future world title opportunity. At just 26 years old, Picasso already has experience on the sport’s biggest stages and knows that a decisive victory could put him back in the conversation for the division’s most important championships.

Standing across the ring will be Maicol Rincón, a Colombian fighter determined to derail the Mexican’s plans and capture the WBC Silver belt on hostile ground. The Colombian knows that a victory over a fighter of Picasso’s caliber could change the course of his career.

During the official presentation of the event, Picasso made his objective clear:

To become the World Boxing Council Featherweight World Champion.

To achieve that goal, the first step will be overcoming Maicol Rincón in a fight that promises intensity and headlines a card supported by the WBC and Jab Box Promotions.

The road to the top of the 126-pound division begins in Naucalpan. For David Picasso, this is far more than just another fight. It is an opportunity to prove that the experiences of his past have made him a more complete fight.
