Late last month, Coachella's Randy Caballero (22-0, 13KOs) traveled over to Monte Carlo to capture the vacant IBF bantamweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over British veteran Stuart Hall.

According to Robert Diaz, matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, Caballero's first defense of the IBF title is being targeted for a date in February, before his hometown fans at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

"I think in February he'll be defending his title in Fantasy Springs," Diaz told BoxingScene.com.
