====Romero vs. Maríñez, Sparrow====
After compiling a record of 11–0 (10 KOs) Romero faced undefeated Dominican [[Jackson Marinez|Jackson Maríñez]] for the vacant [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] [[Interim championship|interim]] [[lightweight]] title on August 15, 2020, at the [[Mohegan Sun Arena]] in [[Uncasville, Connecticut]]. Romero captured the vacant WBA interim title via twelve-round [[unanimous decision]] (UD) with the judges' scorecards reading 118–110, 116–112, and 115–113. This decision was considered very controversial, with the majority feeling Maríñez earned the win.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Idec|first=Keith|date=August 15, 2020|title=Rolando Romero Controversially Decisions Jackson Marinez For WBA Interim-Title|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/rolando-romero-controversially-decisions-jackson-marinez-results--150976|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=August 16, 2020|website=BoxingScene.com|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Gordan|first=Sam|date=August 15, 2020|title=Rolando Romero, David Benavidez score wins in PBC card on Showtime {{!}} Las Vegas Review-Journal|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/boxing/rolando-romero-claims-wba-interim-title-with-decision-victory-2095758/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=August 16, 2020|website=Las Vegas Review Journal|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Christ|first=Scott|date=August 16, 2020|title=WBA to consider Rolando Romero vs Jackson Marinez rematch|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2020/8/16/21371186/wba-consider-rolando-romero-vs-jackson-marinez-rematch-robbery-decision-showtime-boxing-news|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=August 16, 2020|website=Bad Left Hook|language=en}}</ref>

Romero was scheduled to take on Justin Pauldo, but Pauldo came in 5Ibs over the contracted weight. Romero's team would then change the weight to 140 Ibs, but Pauldo failed a pre-fight physical with the commission having to cancel it. Romero fought Avery Sparrow as a last minute opponent, the latter having had five weeks of training prior to this fight. Romero defeated his opponent by seventh-round technical knockout, and aired his frustrations with Sparrow's fighting style after the fight: "He fought like a coward, he just wanted a street fight because he knew he wasn't gonna do anything to me."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Idec|first=Keith|title=Rolly Romero: Sparrow Fought Like A Coward, Lucky They Stopped It When They Did|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/rolly-romero-sparrow-fought-like-coward-lucky-they-stopped-it-they--154979|access-date=2021-07-21|website=BoxingScene.com|date=January 26, 2021 |language=en-us}}</ref>

====Romero vs. Yigit====
Romero was slated to defend his interim title against Austin Dulay on the undercard of [[Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castaño]] on July 17, 2021. Dulay pulled out of the fight a few days before the scheduled date which prompted Romero to claim that Dulay had pulled out of the fight due to a “panic attack.” Dulay responded by revealing that he suffered a knee injury and offered to give Romero $10,000 of his fight purse to reschedule the fight.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Stumberg|first=Patrick L.|date=2021-07-08|title=Austin Dulay injured, Rolando Romero vs Anthony Yigit set for July 17th|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/7/8/22568874/rolando-romero-vs-anthony-yigit-set-july-17-austin-dulay-injured-boxing-news-2021|access-date=2021-07-29|website=Bad Left Hook|language=en}}</ref> [[Anthony Yigit]] was subsequently moved from his untelevised preliminary slot to step in as Romero's opponent.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Stumberg|first=Patrick L.|date=2021-07-08|title=Austin Dulay injured, Rolando Romero vs Anthony Yigit set for July 17th|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/7/8/22568874/rolando-romero-vs-anthony-yigit-set-july-17-austin-dulay-injured-boxing-news-2021|access-date=2021-07-15|website=Bad Left Hook|language=en}}</ref> Romero's title was no longer on the line when Yigit weighed in 5.2 lbs over the 135 lb limit, but the fight nonetheless went ahead. On the night, Romero dropped Yigit multiple times en route to a seventh-round technical knockout victory.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-17|title=Rolando Romero scores dominant seventh round knockout of Anthony Yigit|url=https://www.ringtv.com/624381-rolando-romero-scores-dominant-seventh-round-knockout-of-anthony-yigit/|access-date=2021-07-21|website=The Ring}}</ref> The [[San Antonio]] crowd booed Romero as he was announced as the winner, voicing their displeasure with his roughhouse tactics of throwing elbows, shoving and grappling his opponent. He was unfazed when questioned about it in his post-fight interview, saying, "I fought a 140 pounder and I fucking stopped him, simple as that."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Christ|first=Scott|date=2021-07-17|title=Results and highlights: Romero stops Yigit, Vidal edges past Aleem|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/7/17/22581824/charlo-vs-castano-results-highlights-rolando-romero-stops-yigit-vidal-aleem-boxing-news-2021|access-date=2021-07-21|website=Bad Left Hook|language=en}}</ref>
