Sources in Mexico are stating that WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17KOs) will face Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8KOs) as part of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view undercard on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight is a non-title encounter.

Cayetano is coming in on short notice after other potential opponents fell through. He was last in action in February,  losing a ten round decision to Enrique Bernache. Cayetano has never fought outside of Mexico and he has never been stopped. 

Santa Cruz has been out of the ring since January, when he broke down and put away Jesus Ruiz on the Deontay Wilder vs. Bermane Stiverne undercard, also at the MGM Grand.
