David Barreto and Wilbert Sarmiento will fight on March 27, in Caracas, Venezuela, for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedelatin Super Flyweight title, which is currently vacant.
The pioneer body, through WBA-Fedelatin, approved the bout between two young fighters with good records who are looking to take a giant step in their careers with this fight.
Barreto is the more experienced of the two fighters. The Caracas native comes into the fight on a three-fight winning streak. At 27 years old, he has international experience and has been WBA-Fedebol champion in the past.
