WBA World Super Featherweight Champion Roger Gutierrez (26-3-1, 20 KOs) passed a positive test for COVID-19 and will not be able to fight against Chris Colbert (16-0, 6 KOs), scheduled for February 26.
Gutierrez's place in this fight will now take Hector Luis Garcia (14-0, 10 KOs), and the temporary belt of the World Boxing Association will be at stake. The winner will have 90 days to cross the gloves with the full champion.
Two years ago, 25-year-old Colbert won the interim title. The last time the American fought was in July, defeating Tugstsogt Nyambayar on points.
