Budget constraints nixed the unification for now though Collazo's team are confident the rematch happens in the summer and this is just a temporary stay of execution.

Instead, Collazo will face Jesus Haro (13-3, 2 KOs) on the undercard of Arnold Barboza-Kenneth Sims at the Honda Center, Anaheim, California, on DAZN on March 14.

"I'm very happy to be returning to the ring this coming March 14th," Collazo (13-0, 10 KOs) told The Ring. "Unfortunately, we won't be pursuing a unification bout for reasons beyond my control.

"The company presented us with this opportunity with Jesús Haro. I respect him because I know he comes with the desire and hunger to be champion, but on March 14th he'll be facing the best in the division. Without a doubt, Puerto Rico vs. Mexico is a guaranteed war. We're ready to put on a great fight and secure a solid victory for Puerto Rico."

It is believed that Jerusalem won't fight in the interim and will wait until the summer though he has suggested on social media that he may vacate and move up in weight.
