Clottey To Face Martinez

Boxingtalk.com has been informed that WBO junior lightweight champion, Mike Anchondo will defend his title against former title challenger, Jorge Barrios on ESPN on April 8 at the Miccosukee in Miami, Florida. In other ESPN news, once beaten welterweight contender Joshua Clottey will step in for Kermit Cintron to face Steve Martinez as the co-feature to Antonio Margarito-Sebastian Lujan on February 18. Margarito-Cintron is scheduled to headline ESPN PPV on April 23, though sources from the Cintron camp inform Boxingtalk.com that there's no guarantee the heavy handed Puerto Rican slugger will be fully recovered with enough time to train for someone as dangerous as Margarito.
