The WBO junior flyweight rematch between Ivan Calderón and Hugo Cazarez is heading to a purse bid. The WBO has set the date of June 3, 11am, at their headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The minimum acceptable bid will be $80,000 dollars.

Calderon fought Cazarez to a split-decision win last August. Many said it was the toughest fight of Calderon's career. Cazarez put him down in the eight-round, but couldn't finish him off. Calderon is the only loss for Cazarez since 1999. Cazarez, the heavy puncher, has had 18 fights since the loss in 99, with 14 ending by knockout.
