NEW YORK (AP)—Welterweight champion Andre Berto will defend his WBC belt for the third time when he takes on junior welterweight titleholder Juan Urango next month.
The fight will be May 30 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., but was announced Wednesday at NYY Steak at the new Yankee Stadium. The restaurant is a joint venture between the Yankees and the Seminole tribe.
Berto is a 2004 U.S. Olympian with a 24-0 record, including 19 knockouts. He is coming off a unanimous decision over Luis Collazo.
Urango is 21-1 with 16 KOs. The left-hander from Colombia has won four straight since losing his junior welterweight belt to Ricky Hatton in 2007. Urango won back the vacant IBF title by beating Herman Ngoudjo in January.
