Mijares To Return in February; Chris John Targets April

By Mark Vester

Former unified super flyweight champion Cristian Mijares has told Mexican media that he will return to action on February 26 in Houston, Texas. Right now his team is looking for an opponent. Mijares says that he is two fights away from challenging for a major title. Mijares has put together a string of wins after losing three in row. Mijares plans to start training camp next week.

WBA super featherweight champion Chris John is looking to make a defense of his title in April. John has been resting and spending time with his family after two very tough defenses against Rocky Juarez. If he can't find an opponent in the United States, he will make a title defense in his country of Indonesia.
