Brian Viloria returns to action vs Mexico's Soto

Former world flyweight and light flyweight champion Brian Viloria is set to make another step towards his world championship goal when he takes on Omar Soto of Mexico on July 25 (July 26 PHL time) at Florentine Gardens in Hollywood, California.

The 34-year-old Viloria (35-4, 21KOs) is riding on a three-fight win streak since losing his WBO and WBA world titles to Juan Francisco Estrada a couple of years ago. But as long as the Filipino can keep his winning ways, a rematch with Estrada is definitely within sight.

Soto, meanwhile, has lost three of his last six fights. It will be his second chance to beat Viloria having lost to him by split decision in 2010. A former world title challenger himself, Soto holds a record of 23-11-2 with 15 knockouts. - RAF, GMA News
