The president of Universal Promotions, Javier Bustillo, has revealed that undefeated Jose "Sniper" Pedraza (16-0, 10KOs) will defend his IBO 130-pound championship on June 7th, as part of the Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez-Miguel Cotto undercard at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Also on the same card is another undefeated prospect from Puerto Rico, Felix 'El Diamante' Verdejo, who happens to fight in the same division as Pedraza, who captured the IBO title last weekend with a dominating decision over Alberto Garza.
