Litzau to return in hometown bout

Press Release: On April 25, 2007, featherweight Jason Litzau will return following a late 2006 loss to Jose Hernandez. Litzau, who will be facing Aldo Valtierra in his home state of Minnesota, said, "Since I was a little kid, I dreamed of fighting in the main event at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in my hometown of St. Paul.  Now, on April 25, my dream will become a reality.  I hope we can sell out the arena because nothing motivates me more than 6,000 screaming fans.  I know that this will be my toughest fight.  My opponent has never been stopped, and he is coming here to stop me." Litzau's trainer, Bob Van Syckle, added, "this is a very important fight for Jason.  A win in this fight will get him back in the top ten rankings and back on HBO in a revenge match with Jose Hernandez."
