The Arizona Daily Star reports that 2000 Olympic silver medalist Rocky Juarez (25-3) will return to action on February 9, at the Desert Diamond Casino in Arizona. The returns will also be his first bout under the Golden Boy Promotions banner.

Juarez will look to return to his winning ways after suffering back-to-back losses to WBC super featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera.

Oscar De La Hoya recently agreed to a one-year deal with the Desert Diamond Casino. The deal consists of 4-6 Golden Boy Promotions cards in the next 12 months, with the Juarez card being the first of the deal.
