Valdez tested positive for banned substance phentermine last month, although the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Gaming Commission and the WBC have ruled that the fight could go ahead this weekend.

Conceicao became the first boxer from Brazil to win a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games and has since compiled a 16-fight unbeaten record with eight knockouts.

Valdez, who is also yet to suffer a loss in 29 fights, had retained his WBC belt with an explosive 10th round knockout win over Miguel Berchelt in February.
