Flores (24-4, 12 KOs) looks to bounce back from a pair of defeats against top tier fighters, when he steps into the ring on June 19.

Flores turned pro in 2009 at just 17-years-old and was victorious in his first 22 bouts.
The name of his opponent on Saturday’s card is expected to be announced shortly.
