Verdejo (22-0, 15 KO's), who will return to the clinic after recovering completely from the abrasions he suffered last August in a motorcycle accident, will face Nicaraguan Oliver Flores (27-2-2, 17 KO's) and defend for the sixth time his Latin lightweight title of the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
