El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego is hoping former Boxing world champion, Oscar De La Hoya, will help bring a boxing championship to the borderland again.
El Paso is no stranger when it comes to hosting huge boxing matches. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. takes on Andy Lee later on this evening for the WBC middleweight championship, adding their names to the many other famous fighters who have laced up their gloves here.
Earlier this afternoon, Hall of Fame boxing promoter Bob Arum announced via conference call that World Middleweight Champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. would headline a big night of boxing at the Sun Bowl on June 16th.
