Ready to Rumble: Dalakian Eyes Unification Glory

Ukraine's Artem Dalakian, the reigning WBA flyweight kingpin (up to 50.8 kg), threw his hat in the ring about squaring off against fellow champs in his weight class - Julio Cesar Martinez and Jesse Rodriguez:

-Who's in your sights first for a swing at the undisputed title?

-I'm game to glove up against either. And I'm all set to snatch any strap they dare to bring to the brawl.

As for who packs more punch? I'm not laying any bets... They're in the same weight class. Each brings his own flair to the fight game. Both are solid contenders, world champions in their own right, Dalakian bobbed and weaved.

Julio Cesar Martinez holds the WBC crown, while Jesse Rodriguez clinched a unification in 2023, now gripping the WBO and IBF titles. Dalakian's next showdown? He's stepping into the ring in Japan on January 23.
