LOS ANGELES (Feb. 16, 2017): Someone's "0" must go, as undefeated and WBC #1 ranked Super Lightweight Antonio "Relentless" Orozco (25-0, 16 KOs) from San Diego, California faces one of his toughest tests to date on April 1 when he goes head-to-head with highly touted prospect KeAndre "The Truth" Gibson (16-0-1, 7 KOs) out of St. Louis, Missouri.

 

ESPN Deportes will transmit the fights live from The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST with ESPN2 airing it at 11 p.m. EST.   

 

"This 50/50 main event will help determine the future of the super lightweight division," said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions.
