Other interesting bouts on tap for June:
Earnie Shavers vs George Foreman - Foreman obliterated Carl 'The Truth' Williams in his only bout after losing the war with Larry Holmes. Shavers blew through the WBO, but comes off a tough decision loss to Buster Douglas. Shavers fought 5 months ago, Foreman 6.
Davey Kotey vs Jose Badillo - This fight isn't about Badillo, but Kotey, who went 6-0 in the WBO and has won his first two fights in the WBA. Should he get past Badillo, it's likely Kotey - the FBA's most active fighter, and an undefeated 8-0 - becomes the #1 contender for Salvador Sanchez's title.
Ruben Olivares vs Victor Rabanales - 'Rockabye' Ruben returns from a severe hand and wrist injury that ended his WBC Bantamweight championship bout with Carlos Zarate in the first round. The most disappointing fight of any tournament finale thus far, Olivares now tries to get back on track and tune up for a promised rematch with Zarate.
Myung Woo Yuh vs Rosendo Alvarez - Yuh fights for the first time since his title fight loss to Michael Carbajal in the tournament finale. He faces a tough customer in Alvarez, who hasn't fought in more than a year. If he gets active late in the year, he could force a title fight with Hilario Zapata, or Carbajal if he can regain his title in his rematch with Zapata.
