By Jhonny Gonzalez

Puerto Rican welterweight prospect Thomas Dulorme (13-0, 10 KOs) will return to the ring on Februray 17th in California, says Ricardo Rodriguez of Univeral Promotions. Dulorme's promoter will attempt to match him in the summer with former champion and top welterweight contender Paulie Malignaggi. Dulorme is going to fight again in June, as part of a New York card on the week of the Puerto Rican Day parade. Universal Promotions hope to get him a title shot by the end of the year.

"Dulorme will be fighting on February 17 in California. There are several possible opponents for him, and if he wins he could be matched with Paul Malignaggi for the number one position in the WBA rankings. After that, Dulorme could be fighting for a world title in November or December," Rodriguez said to Carlos Gonzalez.
