Rosales and Martínez for the WBC fly crown

Former Nicaraguan world champion Cristofer Rosales will return to the ring to face Mexican Julio César “Rey” Martínez, possibly on December 13, for the vacant fly title of the World Boxing Council, WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán told ESPN.

Englishman Charlie Edwards vacated the title last week, so fighters ranked 1 and 2 in the lists are reported ready to get into the ring.

Edwards and Martinez disputed this title a month ago, but the fight was declared “NO CONTEST.”

Rosales will seek to have the title he once won against Daigo Higa in 2018 when he knocked him out in Yokohama, Japan. Cristofer has a record of 29 wins, with 20 knockouts and 4 losses with 25 years old.

For his part, Martínez only has 15 professional  fights at 24 years old and has a record of 14 wins, 11 of them by knockout with just  one defeat.
