Candelo-Phillips to square off on ESPN in April

Moments ago former Junior Middleweight title challenger J.C. Candelo informed Boxingtalk that he will be fighting Verno Phillips in early April on ESPN2s Fridat night fights. This actually will be a fight that Boxingtalk actually may have stirred up when a few months back Verno was interviewed and had more than a few harsh words for Candelo who's dog and ring robe were allegedly jacked by Phillips. Candelo told Boxingtalk.com that the fight is already signed
and that Verno is already a beaten man. REMEMBER WHERE YOU HEARD IT FIRST! 4:00 PM EST
