They were expect to face each other on February 26, 2022, at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada.[25] Gutiérrez withdrew from the bout two weeks before it was supposed to take place, as he tested positive for COVID-19.[26] Colbert was rescheduled to face Hector Luis Garcia,[27] in a WBA super featherweight title eliminator.[28] In a surprise upset, the unheralded Garcia dominated the heavy favorite Colbert, knocking Colbert down in the seventh round and winning a unanimous decision with judges' scorecards of 119–108 and 118–109 twice.[29]
