Junior welterweight Pablo Cesar Cano will face Roberto Ortiz on Nov. 16, Golden Boy Promotions announced Wednesday afternoon.

The 10-round bout will take place at the Plaza de Toros in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. In the co-feature, flyweight Ricardo Sandoval will square off against Venezuela’s Gilbert Gonzalez.

Both fights will stream live on Facebook Watch via the Golden Boy Fight Night page (10 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. PT).

Cano (32-7-1, 22 knockouts), who is from Tlalnepantla, Mexico, notched the biggest victory of his career in his last bout on Jan. 18, stopping multi-division world titleholder Jorge Linares in the opening round. The fight came four months after defeating Ruslan Madiyev by technical decision on Sept. 13.

The 30-year-old Cano, who is ranked No. 6 by the WBC, has an aggressive, fan-friendly style that has produced close fights with mixed results. He defeated Mauricio Herrera by split-decision in November of 2016 but lost by split-decision to Alan Sanchez earlier that year and Fidel Maldonado in June of 2017.

Cano believes a victory over Ortiz will lead to a high-profile fight in 2020.

“Roberto Ortiz is a fighter with a lot of experience and who hits hard,” said Cano, who lost in two attempts at a world title belt. “He has a record that’s similar to mine. In fact, I’ve seen many of his performances. I know what he’s capable of, but I also know what I’m capable of. I feel I have more experience when it comes to big fights. I also feel that I’m in my prime, so I plan to take advantage of that to be triumphant this Nov. 16.”

Ortiz (35-4-2, 26 KOs) last fought on Sept. 15 of last year, losing by knockout to Vergil Ortiz in less than two rounds. Ortiz has lost his last three bouts, two by knockout, including a stoppage loss to Cletus Seldin in November of 2017.

The 33-year-old is aiming to break a streak of four winless fights with a victory over Cano.

“I’m very happy, motivated and focused on my return to the ring,” said Ortiz, who resides in Torreon, Mexico. “I know it won’t be easy, but I have prepared to be in top shape, both physically and mentally. I have always liked challenges and I know that this fight is a great opportunity to return to the world of boxing, so I’ve been training day by day with only one thing in mind: the victory.”

Sandoval (16-1, 11 KOs), who resides in the Los Angeles suburb of Rialto, overcame two knockdowns to knock out Cesar Sustaita in round five of his last bout on July 18. The 20-year-old has not lot since losing by decision to Alonso Ceja in his fifth pro fight in November of 2016.

Gonzalez (15-2-1, 12 KOs) was stopped by Erik Omar Lopez on July 6. He has split his last four bouts.

Also on the Golden Boy Promotions card, Sulem Urbina (10-0 1 NC, 1 KO) will fight in a six-round bout.
