The WBA have declared that they will not allow for special permissions due to them believing ‘the best will be facing each other in the ring’.

Serrano is the mandatory challenger for Cruz’s title and the respective teams of Serrano (Most Valuable Promotions) and Cruz (Matchroom Boxing) will have 30 days to privately negotiate the fight. In the case that they do not reach an agreement, the fight will go to purse bids with a 50-50 split.
