A replacement has been found. Lightweight puncher Angelo Santana (14-0, 11KOs) will now face Bahodir Mamadjonov (12-1, 8KOs), who accepted the fight on late notice. The match is going to happen on April 12th at Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas.

The WBA's interim-lightweight crown is said to be at stake but there is no confirmation at the moment from the sanctioning body. BoxingScene.com reported last week that Santana's scheduled opponent Carlos Cardenas suffered a shoulder contusion during a sparring session on Monday.

Mamadjonov has one defeat, suffered last August by way of a ten split decision to Darley Perez. The Uzbekistan boxer was knocked down in the eight round and made a difference in the scoring.

Showtime will televise this match as part of their ShoBox series.
