WBC Flyweight Status – October 2023

The WBC confirms Julio Cesar Martinez as sole flyweight champion as McWilliams Arroyo has declined to fight WBC champion Julio Cesar Martinez consequently vacating his interim championship.

Martinez and Arroyo were set to meet countless times before their Technical Draw which resulted from an accidental headbutt and after as well.
The fight was set for May 5th in the undercard of Canelo vs Ryder, but Arroyo did not accept to fight in Mexico. They were set to meet this coming December as the result of a purse bid and Arroyo will not honor such fight, so he has lost his privileges and interim world championship.
