Rolando Romero is set to make the first defence of his WBA super lightweight title later this month in Las Vegas.
After stopping Ismael Barroso last year to claim the belt, the American will now face the dangerous Mexican Isaac Cruz.
Cruz was a relatively unknown name until a solid performance against Gervonta Davis in 2021 saw him gain the respect of many within the boxing world. While he may have lost the Davis contest on points, Cruz has now put together a three fight winning streak and will now have a second shot at winning a world title.
