Rising contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will face Alfonso Gomez on Dec. 4 at the Honda Center in an attempt to build a following in the United States.
The son of the great Julio Cesar Chavez settled on Gomez after junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto elected to take the rest of the year off rather than fight Chavez this fall.
The 24-year-old Chavez (41-0-1, 30 KOs) is popular in Mexico but is trying to raise his profile in the U.S., where he has fought four of his past five bouts. For the match in Anaheim, Calif., Gomez will be moving up in weight after spending most of his career at 147 pounds.
A news conference is scheduled for Monday to formally announce the card, which is expected to include flyweight titleholder Nonito Donaire and lightweight champion Humberto Soto.
