The fight between Gary Antonio Russell and Emmanuel Rodríguez, which will take place tonight at Dignity Health Sport Park in Carson, California, will be a WBA Bantamweight title eliminator and not for the Interim title of the pioneer body, as it had been announced before.

Along with this fight, the one between Ronal Batista and Alejandro Santiago on September 10th at Super Flyweight, and the one between Aidos Yerbossynuly and Lennox Alllen on September 12th at Super Middleweight will also be WBA title eliminators.

The decisions are due to the start of the WBA’s title reduction plan that will gradually come into operation and will evaluate the interim titles one by one to make decisions.
