Miami-based Juan Carlos Payano (17-0, 8 KOs) is looking to show that his victory over Rau’shee Warren (13-1, 4 KOs) last August was no accident. In an exciting clash between the two former Olympians, Payano took a split decision victory in the first defence of his WBA world bantamweight title, thus handing Warren his first defeat as a professional, although some observers felt that the Ohio man may have done enough to get the nod.

CHICAGO- Rau'shee Warren is ready. The three-time Olympian and top bantamweight challenger from Cincinnati has spent months preparing for his second showdown against world champion Juan Carlos Payano. In August 2015, the two fought ferociously to a controversial split decision, which went in Payano's favor, allowing the Dominican Republic native to retain his title. Warren was less than pleased with the judges' decision, and intends to take what he feels is rightfully his when the two rematch in primetime on NBC on June 18.
