Josh Taylor has a new opponent for the second defence of his WBC Silver super lightweight title after Humberto Soto pulled out.
Nicaraguan Winston Campos has been lined up to fight Taylor next Saturday in Glasgow after a heavy cut was cited as the reason for the withdrawal of Mexican former three-weight world champion Soto.
Campos, 25, has won 30 and lost three of his 38 professional fights, all but two of them in his home country. His most recent defeat came in 2013 against former WBA lightweight champion Ismael Barroso and he won four of his five fights last year by knockout.
Blain McGuigan of Cyclone Promotions said: "We were informed that Humberto Soto had sustained a serious cut during a sparring session and that he would not be able to compete.
"This is professional boxing and unfortunately these things can happen, we wish Humberto a full recovery.
"Josh now has to focus on Winston Campos, who is a hard-punching southpaw full of confidence and he will be hell-bent on taking Josh's title next weekend."
The unbeaten Taylor became the first man to stop Mexican Miguel Vazquez in his previous defence and now has to adjust to a change in opponent.
"It came as a bit of a shock but these things happen in boxing," the Prestonpans fighter said.
"I wish Humberto Soto all the best in his recovery but now I'm one hundred percent focused on defending my WBC Silver title against Winston Campos on March 3rd.
"I'd like to thank my team for finding a replacement at this late stage and although Campos represents a different challenge, being a rangy southpaw, I'm very confident that I can put on a career best performance next weekend at the SSE Hydro."
Campos added in a statement: "I'm delighted to get this opportunity. I was in training for another fight when I got the call. I'm coming to Glasgow to shock the world.
"He (Taylor) is talented, no doubt, but I'm cut from a different cloth, I'm from the streets of Managua. I have the style to give him nightmares and I'm very confident that I can rip that title from him."
