    On the eve of promoting a world title fight at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, promoter Lou DiBella made a deal Friday to bring another one here.

    Welterweight titlist Andre Berto(Above) will make his sixth defense against Victor Ortiz(Below) at the resort's MGM Grand Arena April 16 (HBO), DiBella told ESPN.com.

    DiBella also is promoting middleweight champion Sergio Martinez's fight against junior middleweight titleholder Sergiy Dzinziruk at the venue Saturday (HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET).

    "It's a great facility and we're having great success with [Saturday's] show and Berto has fought the bulk of his fights on the East Coast, so it's a natural," DiBella said. "This is one of the best rooms for boxing on the East Coast. About 4,000 seats, not a bad one in there. We're having a great experience working with the property on this [Martinez-Dzinziruk] event and we're happy we're coming back."
