As a prelude to a huge money fight against either Oscar de la Hoya or Shane Mosley, Zab Judah has announced that he will fight his IBF mandatory contender Cosme Rivera. The fight will provide a great feature attraction to the Felix Trinidad-Ronald Wright fight on May 14 in Las Vegas. Ricvera is twenty-eight years old and had long come second best to fighters such as Diosbelys Hurtado and
Ricky Quiles before hitting a rich vein of form that saw him win his last seven fights. Among his victims in that run of victories are noted British welterweight James Hare and Canada's Hercules Kyvelos, the fight in which Rivera earned his mandatory spot.
