Miguel Cotto won’t be the only Puerto Rican superstar fighting at Madison Square Garden on June 13th.
WBO and Ring Magazine Jr. Flyweight champ, Ivan Calderon, will be defending his title against Filipino challenger, Rodel Mayol on the Cotto-Clottey undercard.
This will be Calderon’s first fight since August of last year when he suffered a deep cut in his forehead in a rematch against Mexico’s Hugo Cazares.
Don’t expect much from Mayol, though…Despite being the WBO’s #1 contender, he’s only 3-3 in his last 6.
But he does own something called The Philippines Games & Amusement Board Light Flyweight Title!
