Leo -santa -cruz

Mexico's Victor Zaleta gets the biggest opportunity of his career thus far when challenges unbeaten IBF bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz on November 10.

The fight features as the main supporting bout on the Abner Mares v Anselmo Moreno bill at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

"This fight is something I have waited for since I started fighting," said Zaleta. 

"I am going to take advantage of this opportunity, become a world champion and make my name known."

"This fight is the perfect addition to this already stellar card," said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.  "

"Leo Santa Cruz is going to do whatever he can to keep his title and remain undefeated, but I know Zaleta is coming to fight. This is going to be a toe-to-toe battle that fans are not going to want to miss."

The winner of the fight will have to accommodate Britain's own Jamie McDonnell at some stage as he recent won an IBF eliminator.
