The flyweight unification fight between WBC champion Marlen Esparza and WBO champ Gabriela Celeste Alaniz has been postponed, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The fight, which had been scheduled for April 29, is being held up because of a visa issue for Alaniz, who is Argentinian.
The targeted date for the rescheduled fight, a source said, is May 27.
Esparza (13-1, 1 KO), 33, has been the WBC champion since 2021. This will be her first fight in 2023 after she beat Eva Guzman and Naoko Fujioka by unanimous decision last year.
Alaniz (14-0, 6 KO), 28, will be making the second defense of her title. She’s won four of her last five fights by stoppage.
Boxing Scene first reported the postponement.
