- Weight: Super Middleweight
- Venue: NOS Event Center, San Bernardino
- Time & Date: Saturday, March 21, 2026
There is something unfinished about Lester Martinez’s story, and the frustration is audible every time he speaks about it.
The 30-year-old from Guatemala City went twelve rounds with Christian Mbilli last September on a major Las Vegas card and produced what the WBC officially named its Fight of the Year. They landed 685 combined punches. The scorecards came back split, one judge had Martinez winning, two gave it to Mbilli. A rematch was ordered. Then Crawford retired, Mbilli was elevated to full champion, and the logistics fell apart.
So instead of the rematch he deserved, Martinez fights for the WBC interim super middleweight title on Saturday against Immanuwel ‘The Chosen One’ Aleem. It is not the fight the Guatemalan wanted. But it is the fight that keeps him on the path and the dream of becoming his country’s first-ever world champion burns as brightly as ever.
