Paro and Wilson lead Queensland war card — Cairns hosts all-Aussie takeover on June 25

By Tim Smith - May 23, 2025 - No comments

Liam Paro (24-1, 15 KOs) and Liam Wilson (13-3, 7 KOs) return to Queensland for a stacked No Limit Boxing card on Wednesday, June 25 at Cairns Convention Centre — a rare double-feature showcasing two of Australia’s toughest exports, streaming live on Main Event (7:00 p.m. local / 5:00 a.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. UK).

Paro faces hard-hitting American Jonathan Navarro (18-1, 9 KOs) in the main event — his first bout in Queensland since going on a world-title chase across the globe. In the co-main, Wilson takes on Argentina’s Aryton Gimenez (17-1-1, 5 KOs), who’s trying to wreck the Aussie’s hopes of a third world title shot.

Paro’s homecoming brings danger — Navarro’s coming to spoil the party

Paro’s back. And he’s not sugarcoating it. “This division is wide open — and I’m ready to remind the world exactly who I am.” He wanted this fight in Queensland for years — never got it when he held the belt. Now he’s doing it on his own terms.

Navarro’s no tourist. The 18-1 American can punch, push pace, and derail comeback dreams fast. But Paro’s got a clear message: “I plan on putting on a clinic.” He’s been itching for names like Teofimo Lopez, Rolly Romero, and Hitchins. Navarro? He’s the gate that needs kicking down.

Paro says he’s done chasing fights. Now, he’s dragging the spotlight back to Queensland.

Wilson returns for redemption — Gimenez wants to bury the comeback

Wilson’s been on the big stage twice — and came up short both times. He knows it. He says he’s learned. This is it: “This is my path to a third world title shot — and I won’t let it slip.”

Aryton Gimenez, 17-1-1, is the classic threat: talented, overlooked, and hungry. Wilson’s not looking past him. “He’s dangerous,” Wilson admitted. “He’s coming here to take everything I’ve worked toward.”

If Wilson wins big, he’s back in the mix. If not? It’s a long climb back. No Limit didn’t build this card for tune-ups. They built it for war. Queensland deserves it.
