Jesse Rodriguez, the sport’s newest world champion, defends his WBC super flyweight championship against former two-division WBC champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on Saturday at Tech Port Arena in San Antonio, Texas, as the centerpiece of a packed event.
Sor Rungvisai, who is ranked No. 1 by The Ring at 115 pounds, is scheduled to meet Carlos Cuadras in a rematch in February but was forced to postpone due to a kidney issue.
For the unclaimed WBC championship in February, Rungvisai and Carlos Cuadras was scheduled to face off. But a week before the fight, Rungvisai was forced to withdraw due to sickness. Rodriguez accepted the challenge despite already being on the undercard. The 22-year-old defeated Cuadras by the decision to earn his first significant world championship. He is now a global champion and has returned home.
In Mexico, Rodriguez made his professional debut at age 17 in 2017. He began to fight more regularly in America after having three of his first four fights take place in Mexico. In 2020, he achieved prominence with a pair of quick knockouts in The Bubble. He was eager to compete for the empty WBC championship against Cuadras (UD 12), despite having title aspirations at 108 pounds. With 10 knockouts in 15 matches, “Bam” is undefeated.
