Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez and Julio Cesar Martinez meet in a super flyweight contest which has the potential to be a fight of year contender.
Gonzalez was originally set to face Juan Francisco Estrada in a much-anticipated trilogy fight, but after testing positive for COVID-19, Estrada was forced to pull out of the fight.
With no clear replacement opponent in sight for Gonzalez, in came Martinez who expressed his desire to face the four-weight world champion and now the pair will meet in what fans hope is a barnstormer on March 5th.
