BoxingScene.com was advised that Golden Boy Promotions has finalized the planned doubleheader for June 27 in Los Angeles, California. HBO will televise. The main event will showcase rising junior welterweight star Victor Ortiz vs. WBA champion Andreas Kotelnik.

Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer was working very hard to finalize the co-feature, and I've received word that a deal has been reached for Chris John to return to the United States to defend his WBA featherweight title in a rematch with Rocky Juarez. The two fought to a controversial draw at Houston's Toyota Center on HBO's televised card on February 28.
