Guillermo Rigondeaux To Defend Title In March

News

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.
