Aaron Clarke
Lightweight & Featherweight Writer ·

Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez says he will fight anyone next after becoming a three-weight world champion. The flyweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">light flyweight told BBC Sport he is not waiting for a specific name.

“I'm ready for whoever, whenever. Put them in front of me, and I'm going to say yes.”

What Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez said

Rodriguez claimed his third divisional title in his most recent outing. The American now holds belts across three weight classes and is considered one of boxing's brightest young talents. His willingness to fight anyone puts pressure on promoters to deliver a major challenge.

What it moves

Rodriguez's open challenge sets up multiple paths forward in a division where mandatory defences and unification bouts are both live options. His stance suggests he is confident in handling any threat put before him rather than targeting one particular opponent.
