    Junior welterweight contenders Antonio Orozco and Roberto Ortiz will square off in a 10-round bout on Sept. 23, Golden Boy Promotions announced Friday.

    The bout was initially slated to take place on the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin card on Sept. 16 in Las Vegas. It was moved to Sept. 23 to serve as the co-feature of the card headlined by the fight between lightweight world champion Jorge Linares and mandatory challenger Luke Campbell at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The card will be televised on HBO (10 p.m. ET/PT).

    "Antonio is a tremendous fighter and one of the top 10 [junior welterweights] in the sport today," Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya said. "He is rugged fighter that pushes himself and his opponents in the ring. Fans can expect to see a great show in the ring."
