BoxingScene.com has been advised by a couple of sources that Yuriorkis Gamboa will be added to the December 19th card at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York as part of the HBO Latino telecast - which already has Gabe Rosado facing Joshua Clottey and Vyacheslav Shabrabranskyy taking on Yuniesky Gonzalez.

Gamboa (24-1, 17 KO's) last fought on November 15th, 2014 in Mexico where he stopped Joel Montes de Oca in six rounds.

It is believed that the Cuban will be participating in a tune-up bout before taking on one of the bigger names residing at 130-pounds in 2016.

The last time Gamboa was on the big stage, he was halted in nine rounds by then WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford on June 28th, 2014.

Also scheduled for that card on December 19th are bouts between heavyweights Luis Ortiz and Bryant Jennings and a junior lightweight contest between Nicholas Walters and Jason Sosa, which will be televised on HBO's 'Boxing After Dark' series.
