Advertiser Staff

Brian Viloria is tentatively scheduled to return to the ring June 19th in Del Mar, Calif., for another ESPN2 show, his manager said yesterday.

Pending an agreement with the promoters on the size of the purse, Viloria will meet a yet to be determined opponent, Gary Gittelsohn said. "I'd say there is a very strong likelihood this will be Brian's next fight," said Gittelsohn.

Viloria was scheduled to return to Los Angeles yesterday, where he is to begin training today.

In the event negotiations fall through on the June 19th bout, Gittelsohn said Viloria would appear on the undercard of the June 23rd Oscar De La Hoya card in Las Vegas. However, a bout on that card might not be televised.

A replay of Viloria's May 15th pro debut at the Hawai'i Convention Center will be broadcast tomorrow at 9 p.m. on ESPN2, an Oceanic spokesman said.
