The bout will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada and a press conference is expected to take place in Los Angeles on Thursday. No official word on the televised co-feature as of yet, but we've been hearing rumblings that WBO 130 pound champion Jorge Barrios-Janos Nagy is a likely candidate to land the spot. More to follow.
