NEW YORK -- Jaime Garza defends his World Boxing Council super bantamweight title and Alberto Davila puts his WBC bantamweight crown on the line May 26 in a pair of 12-round championship bouts at a site to be announced.
Don King Productions and Round One are co-promoters for the action which features four fighters who have a combined 62 percent knockout ratio.
Garza, 25, of Los Angeles, is unbeaten in 39 fights and has won 37 by knockout. He captured the vacant super bantamweight title last June on a second-round knockout of Bobby Berna. His opponent will be undefeated Felipe Orozco, 24, a 1980 Pan American Games silver medalist from Colombia who is 17-0 with nine knockouts.
The Texas-born Davila, 29, who now fights out of Pomona, Calif., makes his first title defense against Erique Sanchez, 26, of the Dominican Republic. Davila, with 47 wins in 55 fights and 21 knockouts, won his title on Sept. 1, 1983, when he kayoed Kiko Bejines, who died of injuries suffered in the fight.
Sanchez's record is 19-1 with 13 knockouts.
