Undefeated Mexican lightweight William “El Camarón” Zepeda (30-0, 26 KOs) of San Mateo Atenco, Mexico, and Chicago’s Giovanni Cabrera (22-1, 7 KOs) held a press conference Thursday afternoon at the Golden Boy headquarters to officially announce their fight on July 6, at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California live on DAZN.
Zepeda is coming off an annihilation of Maxi Hughes, stopping him in the fourth round.
The once beaten Cabrera suffered his only defeat at the hands of current WBA lightweight champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz in dropping a majority decision, he bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Ricardo Quiroz in his last fight.

Isaac Cruz isn’t a Lightweight champion. I think Camaron Zepeda could be a great matchup for Lomachenko
Cabrera lacks power. Not likely to hold off Zepeda. Not saying Zepeda is elite though. In fact, would prefer to see him in with a top lightweight to see how good he is.
This is going to be a long night for Cabrera. He has nothing to keep Zepeda honest. Just like Zepedas last fight with the Australian (forget his name)
Haze gray Maxi Hughes he is English not Australian but maxi did fight kambosos before Zepeda
Cabrera is so awkward.
Cabrera holds and the ref this time should say something. It’s against the rules. He just tries to survive not real entertaining to see a hug fest.
