The World Boxing Association (WBA) has nominated contenders to fight for the vacant world super lightweight title. Alberto Puello (20-0, 10 KOs) and Batyr Akhmedov (9-1, 8 KOs) will compete for the belt, which was recently stripped Josh Taylor.

This fight is supposed to take place in the summer. The winner will have to make two mandatory defenses. In the first of them, he will cross gloves with Ismael Barroso (23-3-2, 21 KOs), who has not fought for several months.

In the second mandatory defense, the WBA belt holder will have to fight the best in a duel between Sandor Martin (40-2, 13 KOs) and Ohara Davis (23-2, 16 KOs).
