Three-time world champion Miguel Cotto (33-1, 27 KOs) will be holding a free public workout in the Bronx this Saturday (June 6) beginning at 2:30 P.M. ET, in an outdoor ring at 152nd Street and Tinton.
Cotto, who is in his final week of training, will be defending his WBO welterweight title against Joshua Clottey (35-2, 21 KOs) on June 13 at Madison Square Garden. This marks the fourth time in the past five years that Cotto, a two-division world titleist, will headline at the “Mecca of Boxing” on the eve of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. Clottey returns to the ring after defeating Brooklyn brawler Zab Judah and winning the IBF welterweight title.
The card will also feature undefeated WBO junior flyweight champion Ivan Calderon (32-0, 6 KOs) defending his title against No. 1 contender and mandatory challenger Rodel Mayol (25-3, 19 KOs).
Tickets are still available and are priced at $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50 can be purchased at the Garden Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets or online at www.thegarden.com.
