Zurdo, who co-mains the latest blockbuster bout for Jake Paul in California, steps back into the ring after becoming the WBA and WBO champion in the division last year.

For his first double defence, the Mexican star will tangle with an ex-cruiserweight king in Dorticos, who previously reigned as WBA and IBF kingpin in two different stints.

As well as Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr as the headline, the undercard sees Holly Holm and Yolanda Vega meet, and Floyd Schofield and Tevin Farmer go at it.
