Highly regarded featherweight hopeful Oscar Valdez, who improved to 13-0 (12 KO's) this past weekend in San Antonio after scoring a seventh-round stoppage of Alberto Garza, will be making a quick return to the ring as he is slated to return on December 20th in Phoenix, Arizona.

This will mark his sixth outing of 2014. Valdez, a two-time Mexican Olympian is considered one of Top Rank's brightest young prospects.
