Brian Viloria vs. Omar Nino III set for April 1st

Flyweight titlist Brian Viloria, a Filipino-American from Hawaii who has developed a following in the Philippines, where he has fought several times, will be there again for his second defense. He'll faces Mexico's Omar Nino in Pasig City, outside of Manila, on April 1 (March 31 in the United States).

For Viloria (30-3, 17 KOs), it will be a third chance to finally score a win against Nino after two previous fights in Las Vegas.

In 2006, Viloria lost his junior flyweight title via lopsided decision to Nino. Their rematch later in 2006 was declared a draw but then changed to a no-decision because Nino (30-4-2, 12 KOs) tested positive for a banned substance and was stripped of the title.

"The fight is made, but we are tying up some of the loose ends that always go into these fights," Gary Gittelsohn, Viloria's manager, told ESPN.com. "Brian wants this fight badly, and I imagine Nino does, too. I think it's a fight that benefits both guys. Brian has a chance to avenge a loss, and Nino has a chance to win another title."

Viloria-Nino likely will be available in the U.S. on Integrated Sports pay-per-view, as was Viloria's exciting eight-round knockout of former junior flyweight champ Giovani Segura in December.

Integrated Sports PPV is also likely to carry the April 29 fight between welterweight titlist Vyacheslav Senchenko (32-0, 21 KOs) and former junior welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi (30-4, 6 KOs) from Ukraine.
