WBA interim Light Welterweight titlist, Johan “El Terrible” Perez (15W-1L-12KO’s-1D) of Caracas, Venezuela clashes against former IBF/USBA Super Featherweight champion, Steve “2POUND” Forbes (35W-11L-11KO’s) of Las Vegas, Nevada in a scheduled ten round junior welterweight contest.

Perez, 29, will be arriving from a six month absence since suffering a disappointing seventh round technical decision defeat from an accidental clash of heads to interim WBA World Light Welterweight champion, Pablo Cesar “El Demoledor” Cano (25W-2L-19KO’s-1D) at the Oasis Hotel Complex in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Forbes, 35, is looking to bounce back from three consecutive defeats at the hands of undefeated former 2008 Mexican Olympian, Jessie “La Nueva Generacion” Vargas (21W-0-9KO’s), unbeaten former amateur standout, Karim “Hard Hitta” Mayfield (17W-0-10KO’s), and rugged Romanian southpaw, Ionut Dan “Jo Jo Dan” Ion (30W-2L-17KO’s).
