Cosme, who has a record of 24-7-2 with 16 knockouts, won the WBC Continental Americas 140-pound title with a 12-round decision over Golden Johnson July 27 in Norfolk, Va., and took the IBA Americas 147-pound crown two bouts before that with a 12-round verdict over Walter Young Jan. 25 in Pines, Fla.

In between, Cosme successfully defended the IBA Americas championship with a third
12-round decision, this one over Wilfredo Negron on a Cedric Kushner Promotions Telemundo card May 5, in Oroville, Calif.

The 36-year-old Saiz, originally from the Dominican Republic, has a record of 25-8-3 with 16 knockouts. The southpaw fought for the World Boxing Association super lightweight championship Feb. 6, 1999, in Washington, D.C., dropping a 12-round decision to Sharmba Mitchell.
