On May 27, at the Golden Boy Promotions evening, the official contender for the WBO welterweight world title Alexis Rocha (22-1, 14 KOs) will fight with Anthony Young (24-2, 8 KOs).
Recently, Rocha was officially named a challenger to fight Terence Crawford, who is the champion of the World Boxing Organization in the 66 kg weight category. It seemed that the parties would quickly come to an agreement, but unexpectedly, negotiations resumed on the unification duel of "Bud" with Errol Spence Jr.
Rochi's performance in May makes the Crawford-Spence fight even more real. Rocha, 25, last fought in January, defeating George Ashe ahead of time.
