Junior welterweight contender José Zepeda (33-2, 26 KOs, 2 NC) will face Mexico's Pedro Campa (32-1-1, 21 KOs), on May 22 in Las Vegas, on the May 22nd card that will see José Ramírez and Josh Taylor unifying all four titles in the same weight class. ESPN will broadcast the card presented by Top Rank. [Still no venue announced]. Zepeda, from California, won a dramatic, see-saw thriller, by knocking out former 140-pound title holder Ivan Baranchyk in the fifth round on October 9th in Las Vegas. That fight included eight knockdowns in total. Zepeda somehow survived two knockdowns in the first round and one knockdown each in the second and fifth rounds to defeat the brave Baranchyk towards the end of the fifth round.

 

Campa, 29, agreed late last year to fight Adrien Broner on February 20th at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. However, one of Campa’s team members contracted COVID-19 and he was forced to withdraw from that fight in early January. Campa is 5-0-1 since he suffered his only professional loss, a seventh-round TKO against Carlos Jiménez in October 2017.
