Orient-Pacific super-featherweight champion Carlo Magali travels to the lion’s den next month when he vies for the World Boxing Council 120-lb title in Cancun, Mexico.
Magali will challenge Miguel Berchelt, who will be fighting in his hometown for the first time in seven years.
Magali has a record of 23-9-3 with 12 KOs, while Berchelt has a mark of 32-1 with 28 KOs.
Two weeks ago in Japan, Magali retained the Oriental crown with a knockout victory over Masatoshi Kotani.
Meantime, Israel Gonzalez of Mexico, who attempts to upset Filipino world champion Jerwin Ancajas, is arriving in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Sunday.
Ancajas will be making the fourth defense of the International Boxing Federation super-fly title for the fourth time with the American Bank Center as venue.
Gonzalez, ranked tenth by the IBF, has been training in the rugged mountains near Mexico City the last two months.
