Promoter Gary Shaw has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that Timothy Bradley (22-0, 11KOs) will make the first defense his WBC junior welterweight title against Edner Cherry (24-5, 12KOs) on the September 13 undercard to Nate Campbell vs. Joan Guzman. Showtime will televise.

Cherry has been 3-0 since a decision loss to current IBF champion Paulie Malignaggi. He knocked out former champ Stevie Johnston in his last ring outing on May 21. Bradley returns for the first time since the upset split-decision win over Junior Witter, which also took place in May.
