Viloria, a Sydney Olympian from Waipahu, is scheduled to meet Antonio Perez of Pasadena, Calif. in a six-round flyweight bout on the undercard of the New Year's Brawl 2002 on Home Box Office.

"We plan to keep Brian very busy this year," said Gary Gittelsohn, Viloria's manager. "I'd like him to fight at least once every five weeks."

Viloria (4-0) returned to Hawai'i for 10 days in December but has been training in Hollywood, Calif. since Dec. 27.

Perez, Viloria's opponent Saturday at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, is 4-5 with two draws.
