By Mark Vester

WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel (39-2, 29KOs) is going to make a defense against Jerome Arnould (20-3, 12KOs) on the September 12 Latin Fury pay-per-view at Nuevo Vallarta in Nayaritin, Mexico. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will face Jason Lehoullier.

Arnould has held most of his fights in his hometown of Paris, France. The biggest jump in class was back in 2007 against then WBA champion Wladimir Sidorenko. Sidorenko knocked him out in seven rounds.
