Looks like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will return on January 29th against Billy Lyell (22-8, 4 KOs) in an outdoor soccer stadium in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. It has also been mentioned that Chavez could fight for some form of the WBC middleweight belt on March 26 against interim champion Sebsatian Zbik. While Lyell would be good preparation for a Zbik fight, the matchup wouldn’t be without risk as Lyell has also beaten Chavez’ best opponent to date, John Duddy.
