Jhonny Gonzalez Plans To Return on August 21

By Mark Vester

Former champion Jhonny Gonzalez plans to return to the ring on August 21 in Chihuahua, Mexico. Gonzalez appeared to be very down his luck in the aftermath of May's third round knockout to WBC super bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka. There were some who thought Gonzalez would retire but he appears to be back in the hunt for another title shot.

The card where Gonzalez will return, will also feature veteran Jose Luis Zertuche, who battled the likes of Kelly Pavlik, Marco Antonio Rubio and Fulgencio Zuniga. Zertuche will face a rising Mexican middleweight prospect, Marcos Reyes (12-0, 11KOs). Reyes has knocked out almost every opponent on his record. The only fight that went the distance was back in March, when he took a twelve round majority decision over the always tough Luis Ramon Campas.
