The return of former world champion Luis Nery has been finalized and his next fight will take place on June 9 at the Municipal Auditorium of his native Tijuana - in what Zanfer Promotions has themed as a war between Mexico and the Philippines.

The event will be broadcast throughout Mexico and in the United States by Bein Sports in a match agreed upon for ten rounds.

Nery (26-0, 20 KOs), 23 years old, has not fought since destroying former champion Shinsuke Yamanaka on March 1; However, he was unable to make the weight limit a day prior and lost his WBC bantamweight title on the scale.

Besides that, the weight issue forced the World Boxing Council to suspended him from their rankings.

Pabustan (29-5-6, 9 KOs) will reach the battle at 28 years old, and has a record of of six wins, three defeats and a draw in his last 10 outings to the ring. The Filipino has already had three fights away from home and in one of them he picked up a win in Japan.

This card is being put together by Zanfer Promotions to celebrate their 25 year anniversary of being in the boxing industry.
