Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum informed BoxingScene.com that featherweight champions Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa will not appear on the same card in the month of June. Arum plans to split them up on separate shows. Lopez will defend his WBO title against Bernabe Concepcion in the month of June. Arum wants to place undefeated Edwin Valero in the co-feature. Valero would likely make his junior welterweight debut. That doubleheader will either take place on HBO, or in the form of a Latin Fury pay-per-view event.

"Obviously we would like to place that fight on premium televison but if we can't, then we'll do a Latin Fury. Juanma will fight Bernabe Concepcion. We might have Valero on there in another fight," Arum told BoxingScene.com

Negotiations are ongoing for Gamboa to defend his WBA title against super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero. Arum believes that card might end up in the month of July.

"Everything is going well [Gamboa-Caballero negotiations]. Gamboa is fighting on March 27 in Germany, so this fight might happen in July," Arum said.
