Interim WBA Super Bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux will be making his first title defense on March 19. His defense will come against Willie Casey in Dublin, Ireland.
Rigondeaux (7-0, 5 KOs) won the interim title in a lackluster fight against Ricardo Cordoba in November on the Pacquiao-Margarito undercard. He turned pro in 2009 after one of the most decorated amateur careers of all-time.
Willie Casey (11-0, 7 KOs) will have the edge in professional experience despite getting this World title opportunity after just 11 professional fights. Rigondeaux has just 7 pro bouts.
