Jessie Rodriguez (17-0, 11 KOs) and Christian Gonzalez (15-1, 5 KOs) will fight for the vacant WBO flyweight title on April 8 at Matchroom Boxing in San Antonio. Previously, this event was scheduled for the second half of March.

22-year-old Rodriguez had three victorious fights this year, winning the WBC super flyweight title. Recently, a boxer from Texas abandoned this belt and moved to a lighter division.

Gonzalez last fought in March, and this will be his first championship chance in the professional ring. Rodriguez last fought in September.
