South Korea's Seung Hoon Lee (33-4-0) travelled to the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico to challenge Callejas (21-1-0) who was making the first defence of the WBA world super-bantamweight title he won from Italy's Loris Stecca nine months earlier.
Callejas won by unanimous decision over the 15 round championship distance.
Scores: Larry Rozadilla 145-141 | Antonio Requena 147-141 | Fernando Viso 146-142.
Callejas defended the title in Italy against Stecca in a rematch, nine months after the Seung Hoon Lee match, winning by 6th round Tko.
Seung Hoon Lee went on to win the vacant IBF world super-bantamweight title in January 1987.
