The Ring, WBA and WBO 105-pound champion Collazo (13-0, 10 KOs) was dealt the underwhelming, stay-busy encounter against Haro (13-3, 2 KOs) as a result of budget constraints.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, as Collazo’s team has promised the Jerusalem fight will take place this summer if Collazo crushes Haro, as he’s expected to.

"I'm very happy and grateful to my promoters for the opportunity to return to the ring,” Collazo said during a media workout. “We're focused and ready for anything Haro might bring. … You'll see a great fight. We know what we're going to work on, and we're going to get a great victory."

Collazo, The Ring’s No. 10 pound-for-pound fighter, should easily handle the outmatched Haro.

Promoted by Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya, Collazo has exclusively competed in title fights over the last three years and blasted the division’s best boxers. The title run started in May 2023, when Collazo stopped Jerusalem in seven rounds for the WBO title. Collazo has since strung together six additional wins.

Jerusalem has rebounded with five wins since losing to Collazo and picked up the WBC title along the way.

Haro, meanwhile, is nowhere near the class of Collazo despite having a reported amateur record of 100-8. The 23-year-old from Merced, California, built his pro record in Mexico and has fought in club shows in Northern California. He's 2-2 over his last four bouts, and his last fight, a win in May, came against an opponent with a 2-4-1 record.

"I'm not surprised to be getting this shot," said Haro. "It was bound to happen. My hard work couldn't go unnoticed. My camp has been great. I've gotten good preparation and sparring. I'm feeling great mentally and physically. I know he's bringing his best, and I'm bringing my best. The crowd better be ready for it."

With a sequel in store against Jerusalem, the 29-year-old Collazo is taking the Haro tune-up seriously despite the massive discrepancy in the experience department.

"Haro is a fighter with refined boxing skills who uses his speed and counterattacks a lot,” said Collazo. “But we're going to use our intelligence and our IQ to figure him out and get the victory for all of Puerto Rico."

Collazo vs. Haro will serve as the co-main event to the fight between Arnold Barboza and Kenneth Sims on DAZN.
