The World Boxing Association (WBA), through its Championships Committee, has officially designated David Jim\u00e9nez as the new WBA Super Flyweight World Champion after Jesse Rodr\u00edguez vacated the title to move up to the bantamweight division and challenge Antonio Vargas.<\/p>\n
Jim\u00e9nez had held the interim championship and was elevated to full champion status in recognition of his accomplishments and standing within the sport. Throughout his professional career, the Costa Rican standout has compiled an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9, earning significant victories and proving he belongs among the elite fighters in the division.<\/p>\n
The Championships Committee also named John Ram\u00edrez as the division\u2019s mandatory challenger. As a result, negotiations must begin for a world title showdown between Jim\u00e9nez and Ram\u00edrez. The conditions and deadlines governing the mandatory championship bout will be announced in the coming days in accordance with the WBA\u2019s internal regulations.<\/p>\n
The official notification has already been sent to Jim\u00e9nez\u2019s team, which has been informed of the decision. The pioneering organization expects \u201cMedallita\u201d to carry the championship belt with pride, honor, and responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The World Boxing Association (WBA), through its Championships Committee, has officially designated David Jim\u00e9nez as the new WBA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-734635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
