According to sources in Puerto Rico, undefeated lightweight contender Felix 'Diamante' Verdejo (18-0, 13KOs) is still on track to return on December 11th in Puerto Rico.

Verdejo would be the main event of a TruTV televised card.

He was going to return to the ring later tonight before a packed house in Kissimmee, Florida, but was forced to withdraw a few days ago when his left hand began giving him issues.

Verdejo had surgery on that hand after suffering the injury during his June 13th ten round decision victory over Ivan Najera at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Prior to that bout he saw action in April when he got a fifth round knockout victory Marco Antonio Lopez in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.

Former champion Nonito Donaire (35-3, 23 KOs) is set to appear in the co-feature in a possible WBO world title eliminator against Cesar Juarez (17-3, 13KOs). If champion Guillermo Rigondeaux is stripped of his WBO title, the Donaire-Juarez could potentially have that title at stake.
