Unbeaten super lightweight Vergil Ortiz Jr. (9-0, 9 KOs), the rising knockout artist and pride of Dallas, Texas, will battle former world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 KOs) in a 10-rounder on the June 23 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, Calif. Since debuting as a professional in 2016, Ortiz Jr. has never heard the final bell of a fight, and he hopes to retain his 100% knockout rate this year. This is his first main event. Salgado has lost seven of his last eight.

In the co-main event, unbeaten lightweight Hector “Finito” Tanajara Jr. (13-0, 5 KOs) will clash against Roger Gutierrez (18-1-1, 15 KOs) in an eight-round battle, and unbeaten super welterweight Ferdinand Kerobyan (8-0, 4 KOs) faces Israel Villela (6-10, 2 KOs) in a six round clash.
