David Martinez has replaced Tomas Rojas as the opponent for Yonnhy Perez in the 10-round bantamweight co feature on this Friday’s ShoBox: The New Generation telecast on SHOWTIME (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast). Rojas was forced to withdraw when he encountered visa problems and was unable to leave his native Mexico in time.
Martinez (18-4-1, three KOs), of Albuquerque, N.M., captured the 2001 United States national championship at 119 pounds and will make his third national television appearance.
In the 10-round main event, lightweight contender Antonio DeMarco will attempt to score his third ShoBox victory in one year when he takes on World Boxing Organization (WBO/LA) Lightweight Champion Jose Reyes.
