=Valladares vs. Cuatro
Valladares was expected to challenge the reigning IBF mini flyweight champion Rene Mark Cuarto on 27 May 2022 in Monterrey, Mexico, in what was to be Cuatro's second title defense. The bout was later cancelled however, due to undisclosed reasons. The fight was later rescheduled for 1 July 2022, and took place at the same location and venue. Valladares won the fight by split decision. Two judges scored the fight 116–111 and 115–112 in his favor, while the third judge scored the bout 114–113 for Cuatro. Cuatro was deducted a point in the tenth round, for loose glove tape.
Valladares vs. Shigeoka
Soon after winning the IBF title, Valladares and his team offered to face the WBA (Regular) mini flyweight champion Erick Rosa in a title unification bout. Rosa accepted and called off his first title defense against Carlos Ortega only hours before it was supposed to take place. These plans later fell through for undisclosed reasons and Valladares was instead booked to make his first IBF title defense against the undefeated Ginjiro Shigeoka. The fight took place on the undercard of the Masataka Taniguchi and Melvin Jerusalem light flyweight championship bout on 6 January 2022, at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka, Japan. The fight was stopped in the third round, after an accidental clash of heads left Valladares unable to continue fighting, and was ruled a no-contest. All three judges had the bout scored 19–19 at the time of the stoppage.
Valladares vs. Shigeoka II
Valladares was expected to make his second title defense against Shigeoka on August 11, 2023, at the EDION Arena Osaka in Osaka, Japan. Although the championship bout was an immediate rematch for Valladares, Shigeoka had captured the interim IBF mini-flyweight title in the meantime, with a ninth-round stoppage of Rene Mark Cuarto four months prior. The contest was later postponed for October 7, as Shigeoka suffered a leg injury in training. Shigeoka won the fight by a fifth-round technical knockout.
