Canelo, All Star Boxing Lawsuit Heads To Trial on June 22

By Miguel Rivera

Puerto Rican promoter Felix 'Tutico' Zabala, director of All Star Boxing, revealed that June 22nd has been set down as the trial date for his ongoing lawsuit against former world champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Golden Boy Promotions - for breach of contract and unlawful interference with an existing contract.

Zabala sued Oscar de la Hoya's company in 2009 for interfering with his contract with 'Canelo', with whom Zabala claims he's had an agreement with since 2008 for a four year period.

"The trial will be on June 22 in Miami Dade County in Florida. That's the agreement we have with the lawyers. We do not know how long this will last but hopefully a full week for a final verdict," Zabala told ESPN Deportes. "It has been a long time that we've waited for this trial. I do not know what will happen, but we will show that we have and the judge will decide."
