Here's the revised article without the phrase "boxing world":

As excitement builds for Bam Rodriguez’s upcoming fight, fans are buzzing with the potential for him to face Naoya Inoue in the future. On November 9, Rodriguez will step into the ring in Philadelphia to defend his WBC super flyweight title against Pedro Guevara. This isn't just another title defense; it’s a critical moment that could shape the course of his career.

At just 24 years old, Rodriguez has already made a name for himself as a two-division world champion, quickly rising through the ranks and unifying titles. Known for his speed and skill, he faces a significant test against Guevara, a seasoned veteran who won’t be an easy opponent. A victory in this fight could set Rodriguez up for a big year in 2025, with opportunities to challenge some of the sport's elite.

DAZN commentator Chris Mannix has weighed in on the potential matchup with Inoue, stating that for Rodriguez to make this superfight a reality, he needs to move up to the 118-pound weight class. Currently fighting at 115 pounds, Rodriguez’s next steps will be crucial, as unifying titles is essential, but the ultimate goal seems to be a showdown with the knockout artist, Inoue, who reigns at 122 pounds.

Fight night in Philadelphia promises an electrifying atmosphere, not just for Rodriguez but also for fans eager to see IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis defend his title against Karen Chukhadzhian in the main event. With so much on the line, Rodriguez knows that his performance against Guevara could pave the way for even bigger challenges ahead.

As the date approaches, the anticipation for Rodriguez’s fight—and the potential clash with Inoue—continues to grow. If he can secure a victory on November 9, fans will be one step closer to witnessing what could be one of the biggest matchups in the sport.
