Overview

• The CMB officially changed Rodríguez’s June 21 unanimous decision win over Galal Yafai to a no contest and returned the interim flyweight belt to Yafai.
• The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association notified the CMB of an adverse heptaminol result on July 8, prompting an investigation into the Mexican boxer’s sample.
• CMB investigators found the stimulant ingestion was non-intentional after Rodríguez disclosed use of an over-the-counter energy supplement on his pre-fight registration.
• Rather than imposing a ban, the council placed Rodríguez on a 12-month probationary status through June 21, 2026, with three unannounced VADA tests.
• A direct rematch between Rodríguez and Yafai has been ordered, subject to final approval by the British Boxing Board of Control.
