Also, on the undercard of this fight, the young gun Rolando Romero will defend his WBA interim lightweight strap. Earlier, he was supposed to face Austin Dulay, but the latter withdrew from this contest. As a result, Anthony Yigit took this fight. At the weigh-ins, as he exceeded the 135-pound limit (140.2 pounds), he will not be eligible to become the champion. If he wins, the strap will be vacant.
