Jesse Rodriguez faces Phumelele Cafu for unification title July 19 in Frisco

Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez, the WBC junior bantamweight champion and two-division world titleholder, is set to face WBO titleholder Phumelele Cafu in a super flyweight unification bout on July 19 at Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, streamed on DAZN. Rodriguez, undefeated and ranked No. 7 on ESPN's pound-for-pound list, has recently defended his title with a third-round TKO over Pedro Guevara. Cafu, who secured his WBO title by upsetting Kosei Tanaka last October, was previously linked to a bout with Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez, but now aims to unify the division against Rodriguez. The co-main event will feature super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco against Trevor McCumby, with Pacheco coming off a unanimous decision victory and McCumby looking to rebound from his first career loss. The event highlights Rodriguez's continued pursuit of top competition in the division and presents Cafu with his toughest test yet. Both main and co-main fights are viewed as significant matchups in their respective weight classes.
