The weights are in for the tomorrow night's event called "Viva Mexico" - which takes place in the modern and spectacular Arena Oasis in Cancun, Quintana Roo.

In the main event, former world champion Jhonny Gonzalez (61-10, 51KOs) will face Japanese contender Hirotsugu Yamamoto (19-12-2, 3KOs) as part of a card being organized jointly by Promociones del Pueblo and Cancun Boxing, Pepe Gomez, with the support of Cerveza Victoria, Playboy Mexico, and Grupo Oasis Quequi.

Gonzalez and Yamamoto both weighed in at the super featherweight limit, 130-pounds.

For Gonzalez it will be his fourth fight since losing an upset majority decision last September to Jonathan Oquendo as part of the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Gonzalez has already fought twice in 2016 with stoppage wins over Christopher Martinez and Justin Savi.

The card will be carried in Mexico by Televisa Deportes. There are fireworks to be expected in the co-feature, with Diego "Demolisher" Cruz trading punches with his countryman Ivan "Macanón" Cano.

Fighting on the same evening, Lourdes "Little Lulu" Juarez - the younger sister of Mariana 'La Barbie' Juarez - will clash with local favorite Yesenia "La Niña" Gomez.

Gonzalez will risk for the third time the International silver super featherweight championship of the World Boxing Council, which he won in December of last year by beating another Japanese fighter in Hurricane Futa. Gonzalez hopes to continue racking up the wins until the sanctioning body will put him in position for a world title eliminator or a title shot. The current WBC champion in his division is countryman Francisco Vargas, who is currently out with injury. The mandatory challenger is another Mexican, Miguel Roman.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto has won three of his last four fights, and plans to make a big surprise on Mexican soil in the patriotic month.
