Alex Saucedo and Sonny Fredrickson have agreed to terms on a 10-round fight that will take place in Las Vegas and headline a June 30 card, according to Mike Coppinger of The Athletic.

The junior welterweight bout was originally scheduled to take place April 25 on the undercard of the Naoya Inoue-Johnriel Casimero event, but it was delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The fight will be aired on ESPN.

Other fights on the card have not yet been mentioned.

The 25-year-old Saucedo (29-1-0, 19 KOs) last fought in November, scoring a first-round knockout of Rod Salka in a bounce-back performance following his first career loss to then-WBO junior welterweight champ Maurice Hooker.

Fredrickson (21-2-0, 14 KOs) also fought in November, losing to Samuel Teah by majority decision.

The Saucedo-Fredrickson fight could be one of a number of events scheduled by boxing promoter Bob Arum, who's attempting to get approval from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
