By Patrick McHugh: Unbeaten welterweight contender Sammy Vasquez (21-0, 15 KOs) will get a chance to show what kind of boxing skills has going for him this month when he faces 2008 Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz (17-1, 8 KOs) in the co-feature bout on the Deontay Wilder vs. Chris Arreola card on Premier Boxing Champions on Fox on July 16 at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
Vasquez, #7 WBA, #8 WBC, #10 WBO, #11 IBF, will be taking a little bit of a step up in taking on the 32-year-old Diaz, who has only been beaten once in his career by former IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson by a 12 round majority decision last October.
