Former world super-featherweight champion Jojo Diaz is back in action when he takes on the undefeated William Zepeda.
Jo Jo was last seen when losing to the brilliant Devin Haney in a WBC world lightweight title fight last year and it will be interesting to see if the 29-year-old can get back on track.
Zepeda is a heavy-hitting undefeated fighter and the Mexican will bring the confidence of an unbeaten boxer.
Camaron has been operating at a lower level to that of Diaz, but the San Mateo Atenco puncher has won 15 of his last 16 fights by stoppage.
