The on, off, on again impending world title fight between Ghanas Rafael Mensah and Alfredo Machado is now tentatively set to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 21 alongside the WBO junior middleweight title fight between Jaime Munguia and Liam Smith.
Unbeaten Munguia (29-0, 25 KOs) who has already fought three times this year, stepped up at short notice in May to replace an injured Smith and stop Sadam Ali in round 4 to claim the title he will now defend against Smith (26-2, 14 KOs) in the co-main event a month hence.
