Romero (15-1, 13 KOs) rose to the ranks of world champion in his last outing, stopping Ismael Barroso in round nine to win the title in May.
It was the 28-year-old’s first return to the ring since a May 2022 defeat against three-division champion Gervonta Davis.
25-year-old Cruz (25-2-1, 17 KOs) has racked up three consecutive victories since dropping a competitive and entertaining decision against undefeated superstar Gervonta Davis in December 2021.
The reigning WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy Lara defends his belt against the No. 1 rated mandatory challenger Michael Zerafa.
Lara captured his WBA title with a first-round knockout of Thomas LaManna in May 2021, before KO’ing Gary O’Sullivan in May 2022.
Australia’s Zerafa (31-4, 19 KOs) has won four straight to earn the title fight since his 1-1 rivalry with Jeff Horn in their domestic affair.

Trained by the renowned Eddy Reynoso, Martínez (20-2, 15 KOs) first captured his flyweight world title with a ninth-round stoppage of Cristofer Rosales in his stateside debut in December 2019.
The 29-year-old has gone on to defend the title five times, besting previously unbeaten opponents Jay Harris and Samuel Carmona, while most recently stopping Ronal Batista in May.
The 28-year-old Cordova (18-0-1, 12 KOs) earned a career-best victory in his last outing, as he bested former world champion Angel Acosta on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory last April.
