Yafai Defends Interim WBC Title in Birmingham
Galal Yafai, the undefeated Olympic gold medalist, will defend his WBC interim flyweight title against experienced Mexican contender Francisco Rodriguez Jr., who now has 46 professional bouts, on June 21, 2025, at BP Pulse LIVE in Birmingham. Both fighters made weight ahead of the main event, which will be streamed live on DAZN. The winner is positioned for a potential unification bout against WBA and WBC champion Kenshiro Teraji. The undercard features unbeaten prospects including Olympian Brown and rising flyweight Uddin. Promoter Eddie Hearn has voiced concerns about Yafai's limited experience against elite opponents, framing the fight as a crucial test of his championship credentials. The event is set to showcase both established and up-and-coming boxing talents.
