Former world champions Guillermo ‘Chacal’ Rigondeaux and Julio ‘Pollito’ Ceja will clash in a Super Bantamweight eliminator of the World Boxing Council.
Rigondeaux and Ceja will face each other on June 23 at the Events Center of Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Ceja is ranked number one in the 122 pounds division. While Rigondeaux is third on the list. That`s why the WBC has decided to approve the battle as an eliminator so that the winner faces the victor of the battle between Champion Rey Vargas and Tomoki Kameda.
Ceja, who arrives with a record of 32-3 and 28 knockouts, has been working in Indio, California, with coach Joel Diaz. Rigondeaux will have his first major battle after reaching an agreement with Premier Boxing Champions. A triumph would allow him to go for his third world belt.
