Brad Goodman, matchmaker for Top Rank, has confirmed that former WBO junior welterweight world champion 'Mile High' Mike Alvarado (34-4, 23KOs) will be fighting in Saul Corral a welterweight from Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. Alvarado's return is set to land in Houston as part of an UniMas televised card on March 19th.

Alvarado was last seen in an HBO televised headliner last January. He took a drubbing at the hands of Brandon 'Bam-Bam' Rios in the rubbermatch of their heated trilogy. Alvarado was arrested just weeks before the fight and admitted afterwards that he didn't take his training camp seriously for the contest.

Alvarado has lost four of his last five outings and has not picked up a win since a March 2013 twelve round decision win over Brandon Rios in their Las Vegas rematch.

Saul Corral, 19-6, 10KOs, has fought exclusively in Mexico and his competition has been less than stellar, but he should provide the confidence builder Alvarado's career is in dire need of at this point. Corral has won his last seven bouts, although he had a layoff from 2009 to 2015. Alvarado's comeback starts here.

The eight round welterweight clash will headline the telecast with Juan 'Baby Bull' Diaz in the co-main.
