Mexican Jorge 'Travieso' Arce has been booked to face ex-Gerry Penalosa foe Tomas Rojas on September 16 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Mexican Rojas, a monster of a fighter who gave Penalosa all he could handle last year at the Araneta Coliseum, will collide with Arce for the WBC Latino bantamweight title.
Fans have been clamoring for a Penalosa-Arce showdown, and even the highly-respected lawyer Rudy Salud, who once managed Penalosa, has advised his former ward to face Arce instead of pursuing a rematch with Danile Ponce De Leon.
On the same card, WBC light-flyweight champ Edgar Sosa will defend against former Rodel Mayol victim Lorenzo Trejo.
