Martín Waits for World Title Fight Against Puello This Year

Background and Current Standing

The path to becoming a world champion has become more accessible for Sandor Martin, a skilled boxer with a record of 42-3-0 and 14 KOs. After months of agreement between all parties, the official confirmation of the fight between Martin and the current super lightweight champion by the World Boxing Council (WBC), Alberto Puello, has been announced.

Upcoming Fight Details

The highly anticipated fight is scheduled to take place on March 1 at the Barclays Center in New York, as part of an evening event headlined by the fight between Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach. Martin’s fight announcement was delayed until the organizers, Premier Boxing Champions, deemed it appropriate to make it public.

Martin’s Recent Performance and Opportunities

Sandor Martin has had two quick wins in recent fights, which were more like exhibitions as he waited for his World Cup opportunity to materialize. As the first candidate for the title, Martin stepped aside to allow Devin Haney and Ryan García to face each other. He has the support of the ‘Top Rank’ promoter and the WBC mandate, which has contributed to his current position.

Career Highlights and Past Performances

In 2021, Martin made a significant impact in the US market with a spectacular victory against the champion in four divisions, Mikey Garcia. The following year, he delivered a great performance against another American star, Teofimo Lopez, in a lawsuit that the judges controversially awarded to Lopez by split decision.

Puello’s Background and Current Title

It is worth noting that ‘La Avispa’ Puello, 29, won the interim title in a fight against the undefeated Gary Antuanne Russell and was later promoted to absolute champion after Devin Haney stepped aside and was declared ‘champion in recess’ by the WBC.

Spanish Boxing Champions

Martin aims to join the small club of Spanish world champions, which currently consists of only 14 individuals, including María Jesús Rosa and Joana Pastrana in the female category. The last Spanish boxer to achieve this feat was Kiko Martínez in 2021, who defeated Kid Galahad to reign in a second category, a privilege shared only with Javier Castillejo.
