Brian Villoria to face Miguel Cartagena in ‘Superfly’ card

Former two-division world champion Brian “Hawaiian Punch” Viloria is set to face Miguel Cartagena in eight rounds of boxing on Saturday, September 9.

The Filipino-American boxer weighed in at 113.4 pounds, while his opponent Cartagena weighed in at 113.6 pounds.

The Viloria-Cartagena bout is part of the “Superfly” card at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Superfly features a rematch between Wisaksil Wangek and Roman Gonzalez; Naoya Inoue’s US debut; and Juan Francisco Estrada versus Carlos Cuadras.

Viloria, 36, with a record of 37-5, 22 knockouts, took some time away from boxing after being released from his promotional contract with Top Rank.

He returned in the ring on March 2 and won against Ruben Montoya in an eight-round unanimous decision. —John Ted Cordero/LBG, GMA News
