Felix Pedro Alvarado Sanchez (born 15 February 1989) is a Nicaraguan professional boxer who has held the IBF light flyweight title since 2018. He previously challenged for the WBA (Regular) light flyweight title in 2013, and the WBA (Regular) flyweight title in 2014. As of January 2022, Alvarado is ranked as the world's best active light flyweight by The Ring, second best by BoxRec and third best by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board. His twin brother, René Alvarado, is also a professional boxer.His victory against Teeraphong Utaida earned Alvarado the #1 rank in the IBF light flyweight rankings, which made him the mandatory title challenger to the reigning champion Hekkie Budler. Accordingly, IBF ordered Budler to defend against Alvarado. On July 25, 2018, Budler vacated the title, unsatisfied with the purse bid. Sampson Boxing won the bid with a $25 000 offer, with 75% going to Budler and 25% to Alvarado. On July 26, 2018, IBF ordered its two highest ranking light flyweight contenders Randy Petalcorin and Felix Alvarado to fight for the vacant IBF title. The fight was scheduled for October 29, 2018, at the Midas Hotel and Casino in Pasay, Philippines.Alvarado won the fight by a seventh-round technical knockout, dropping his opponent three times in just over two minutes. The first knockdown came early on in the round, via body shot. Alvarado increased his already high pace, knocking Pentalcorin twice more, until he elected to stay down for the ten-count.Alvarado was scheduled to make his first title defense against the one-time WBA World Light Fly Title challenger Reiya Konishi on May 19, 2019 at the Portopia Hotel in Kobe, Japan. Alvarado won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 118-110, 116-112 and 117-111. Konishi gave Alvarado a competitive fight until the seventh round, after which Alvarado took over the fight. All three judges awarded Alvarado rounds eight through eleven.Alvarado was scheduled to fight the reigning WBC light flyweight champion Kenshiro Teraji in a title unification bout on December 23, 2019. The fight was scheduled for the undercard of the Ryota Murata and Steven Butler WBA World Middleweight title bout. On November 19, 2019, Alvarado withdrew from the bout, as he was unable to train due to a bronchial problem.
