    Former three-division champion Shane Mosley, coming off a lopsided decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 1, will return to face former junior middleweight titlist Sergio Mora, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com on Wednesday night.

    Schaefer said the scheduled 12-round 154-pound fight will headline a pay-per-view card at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sept. 18 and be the culmination of several days of festivities Golden Boy is planning surrounding the bicentennial of Mexican Independence Day.

    Mosley (46-6, 39 KOs) and Mora (22-1-1, 6 KOs), both former junior middleweight titleholders from Los Angeles, have scored major victories at the Staples Center and will return with their eye on another.

    "With Shane, you have somebody who fights everybody and with Sergio you have a guy who has really wanted a big challenge," Schaefer said. "It's a fight he's wanted for a long time and to do it in his backyard on Mexican independence weekend makes it an even more meaningful fight for him. For Shane, he loves fighting at Staples Center and he is looking forward to this fight as well."
