Top Rank chief Bob Arum told the media that Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto will be back in the ring on June 18, against an opponent yet to be decided. As the backlash from Cotto's WBO title defence against DeMarcus Corley continue, the American fighter and his camp are calling for a rematch to be held and are claiming that local bias from the referee cost Corley the fight. Corley stunned Cotto early on with a right hook that scrambled his senses for a moment and it seemed that the young champion may be

stopped. Cotto came back to win and preserve his undefeated streak, albeit controversially thanks to the nature of the stoppage. If a rematch with Corley is not made, talks with WBA light welterweight champion Vivian Harris are a possibility for Cotto's camp. We will keep you updated to further developments.
