On Saturday, IBF featherweight champion Evgeny Gradovich (19-0-1, 9KOs) will look to successfully defend his title for the 5th time when he faces his mandatory challenger Lee Selby (28-1, 8KOs) in London at the O2 Arena.

Gradovich last fought in November when he had a draw against Jayson Velez in an HBO televised fight.

Velez (22-0-1, 16KOs) will also return to the ring for the first time since that fight on June 4th against Daniel Ramirez. While Velez is focused on Ramirez, he says that a rematch against Gradovich is still a priority for him.

"Since that fight happened I said That I wanted a rematch. I know he has a fight on Saturday against Selby and I hope he wins. I want him to win so I can get the rematch," Velez told BoxingScene.com.
