Overview
- Promoters replaced visa‑stranded challenger Joey Canoy with Neider Valdez and restructured the main event as a flyweight catchweight to keep the seven‑fight card intact.
- The bout was staged at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California on Saturday, June 20, and was carried live on DAZN.
- The WBO approved its secondary 'International' flyweight belt for the fight while the WBA did not sanction any title at the new weight, so Collazo’s unified 105‑lb WBA/WBO/Ring world titles were not at stake.
- Both fighters made the 112‑lb limit at the weigh‑in (Collazo 110.5 lb, Valdez 111.25 lb) and Collazo won by second‑round knockout after three knockdowns, a result reported and later confirmed by mainstream coverage.
- The episode highlights recurring U.S. visa delays for international fighters and the economic pressure on promoters and broadcasters to preserve fight cards, which can force weight shifts and lower‑tier title designations that change competitive meaning for champions.
