21.05 - In a highly anticipated rematch of perhaps the year’s biggest upset, Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga will defend his World Boxing Council/World Boxing Association (WBC/WBA) welterweight titles when he faces former WBC 147-pound champion Vernon “The Viper” Forrest July 12 at The Orleans in Las Vegas. In the second of three world title fights, DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley will put his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Junior Welterweight crown on the line for a third time when he faces former International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior welterweight titleholder Zab “Super” Judah. Rounding out the Don King Productions world championship tripleheader will be WBA Super Welterweight Champion Vivian Harris making his initial title defense against unbeaten mandatory challenger, Souleymane “The Sensation” M’Baye. The Mayorga-Forrest and Corley-Judah bouts will be televised by HBO.

RICARDO MAYORGA (24-3-1, 1 NC, 22 KOs):

“Vernon Forrest is scared. He has people talking for him. I do not think he wants to fight me again. He is going down. I am hungrier for this fight than I have ever been. I invite everybody to come out to see two great rounds of boxing.”

“I am a super champion, and I am super crazy.”

DEMARCUS ‘CHOP CHOP” CORLEY (28-1-1, 16 KOs):

“I have no remorse for what I am going to do to Zab Judah. He has taken trash talk to another level. When he was the champion, he always said that he would never fight a guy who wore a skirt. I am going to take care of business in the ring.”

“I am very excited that we are finally going to get to fight each other. We have been talking about this fight for years.”

ZAD JUDAH (28-1, 1 NC, 21 KOs):

“I appreciate the fact that Corley is giving me this opportunity. I have been away from the ring for a year. I have been getting my life in order. But, now, Daddy is here, and it is time to bring it on home. In the past year, I have learned a lot of things. It has been like going back to school. But, now I am ready for the quiz. I expect to pass with high marks.
