In light of WBC 112-pound champion Julio Cesar Martinez's mysterious hand injury, the WBC will move forward with an interim title fight on Saturday's DAZN broadcast. Martinez's scheduled opponent, McWilliams Arroyo of Puerto Rico will now face Abraham Rodriguez of Mexico for the interim belt. Arroyo is 20-4, inactive since late 2019 but on a three-fight win streak against good opposition. Rodriguez, inactive for about a year, has had most of his fights in the 108-pound division. His record overall is 27-2 including a failed WBO title bid to Angel Acosta in 2018.
