HOUSTON, TX – On March 19, UniMas will air a “Solo Boxeo” bout at 11p ET/PT featuring Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz (40-4, 19 KOs) & “Mile High” Mike Alvarado (34-4, 23 KOs).

The Houston-based vet Diaz is seeking to reclaim his world title status by facing Mexico’s Fernando Garcia (30-7-2, 19 KOs) in a 10-rounder. Meanwhile, Alvarado hopes to bounce back after his rubber match with Brandon Rios by defeating Mexico’s Saul Corral (19-6, 10 KOs) in an 8-round scrap.

Diaz (40-4, 19 KO’s), who has been crowned on multiple occasions as world monarch in the lightweight division and hopes to continue on the winning route so he can get another shot at a world title, will battle in the main event of the card that will be presented in front of his hometown fans.

“I am proud and excited to be partnering once again with Top Rank and Foreman Boys Promotions to bring world class boxing back to my hometown, the great city of Houston, Texas. It will be an honor and a privilege to fight before all of my fans, friends, and family. On March 19th, the Baby Bull is coming home,” said Diaz.

On the co-featured bout, Alvarado (34-4, 23 KO’s), of Denver, Colorado, a former welterweight world titlist, is seeking redemption and hopes to return to the stellar spot he once occupied in the boxing world, after a few stumbles inside and outside the ring, being the most recent one – a dominant technical knockout loss against Brandon ‘Bam Bam’ Rios – on January of 2015. Alvarado, who has been in multiple ‘Fight of the Year’ candidates, will try to bounce back and give the first step in the right direction on the fight that will start the March 19 UniMas telecast.

The respective fights of these two warriors will be televised from coast to coast in the United States at 11 p.m. ET/PT on UniMas’s ‘Solo Boxeo Tecate’.

Tickets for this presentation of Top Rank, in association with Foreman Boys Promotions, are now on sale at prices of: $100, $60 and $30, plus applicable charges, and can be purchased on the Arena Theatre’s box office, on www.ArenaHouston.com or by calling 713-772-5900.
