De La Hoya is an undefeated contender who has built a stellar resume since turning professional in 2013. The 23-year-old will return after his most significant victory yet when he defeated former IBF Bantamweight World Champion Randy "El Matador" Caballeroon the HBO-televised undercard of Canelo vs. Golovkin in Sept. 2017. De La Hoya is eager to produce another exciting victory to demonstrate that he is ready for bigger and more lucrative fights.

"I'm delighted that Golden Boy Promotions and my manager Joel De La Hoya have given me the opportunity to return to the ring on June in Verona," said Diego De La Hoya. "I'm enthusiastic because it will take place during Hall of Fame weekend where I hope to one day be inducted like my cousin and promoter Oscar De La Hoya. I promise an exciting fight and to walk away with my hand raised in victory because I'm ready for bigger things."

Salgado is a former world title challenger who fought to a controversial technical draw against former WBC Super Flyweight Champion Carlos "Principe" Cuadras. The 28-year-old Mexican contender will move up to test the young fighter with an aggressive style that is backed by years of boxing experience.

"This is the most important fight of my career," said Jose Salgado. "I'm preparing for this fight with the clear goal of fighting for a world title after. I totally respect my opponent because he's a great fighter who is very skilled. However, I'll do my best to win so I can fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion."

The undercard for this action-packed card will be announced shortly.
