Former super middleweight world titlist Jose Uzcategui, who had been penciled in to fight Aug. 10 on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s undercard in Mexico, will instead headline a Premier Boxing Champions card on Sept. 21 (FS1) in Lancaster, California, Zanfer Promotions, Uzcategui’s promoter, told ESPN. Uzcategui will face southpaw Denis Douglin in a 10-rounder. The fight will be Uzcategui’s first since he lost his belt by unanimous decision to Caleb Plant in January.

Top Rank announced Tuesday that it has signed Puerto Rican featherweight prospect Orlando Gonzalez, a 24-year-old southpaw, to a multi-year promotional agreement. Gonzalez (12-0, 8 KOs), who was 162-16 as an amateur, is a cousin of unbeaten junior lightweight prospect Henry Lebron, who is also signed to Top Rank. “Orlando is a very well-schooled young fighter who we expect big things from in the coming years,” Top Rank matchmaker Brad “Abdul” Goodman said. “Like Henry Lebron, we believe Orlando has everything it takes to become a world champion.”

Top Rank is trying to finalize a fight between junior lightweight titlist Miguel Berchelt and former secondary titlist Jason Sosa to headline its ESPN card on Nov. 2, multiple sources with knowledge of the discussions told ESPN on Monday. Top Rank initially aimed to make the fight for the Tyson Fury-Otto Wallin undercard on Sept. 14 (ESPN+) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but Berchelt said he would not be able to make 130 pounds in time for that date. Mexico’s Berchelt has made five defenses, most recently a sixth-round stoppage of former titlist Francisco Vargas in their rematch on May 11. Sosa, of Camden, New Jersey, is coming off a dominant seventh-round knockout of Haskell Lydell Rhodes on Aug. 10.
