ByAlejandro Tostado

Huge boxing gala tonight at the Grand Mayan in Nuevo Vallarta with the WBA light flyweight and Interim WBA lightweight titles on offer.

California’s big punching Giovanni Segura, 20-1-1 (16), won the Interim WBA light fly belt in March by stopping Cesar Canchilla in a rematch and will meet Filipino campaigner and three-time world title challenger Juanito Rubillar, 46-12-7 (22), for the full WBA crown.

Another California, undefeated Urbano Antillion, 26-0 (19), is in action as he gets to grips with Venezuela’s Miguel Acosta, 25-3-2 (19), for the Interim WBA lightweight trophy.

Former WBC heavyweight champion Sam Peter, 30-3 (23), comes back from two straight losses to take on 38 year old journeyman Marcus McGee, 22-16 (11), in an eight rounder.
