Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs Sebastian Zbik set for June 4th on HBO

Julio Cesar Chavez will challenge middleweight belt holder Sebastian Zbik -- who got his belt only when Sergio Martinez was stripped by the WBC -- on June 4 on HBO. Top Rank's Carl Moretti said three sites in Southern California are being looked at as possibilities to host the fight, which will take place a week before Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. is inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame: Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. Moretti said he expected a competitive fight. "Zbik is not the easiest guy in the world to fight," he said. "He kees his hands up. He doesn't open himself up. He waits to counter, so I think it's an interesting fight." The opening HBO bout hasn't been worked out yet.
