Former champion Ulises "Archie" Solis (28-2, 20KOs) has confirmed his return on September 15 in Mexico. Solis will appear on the Jorge Arce-Simphiwe Nongqayi undercard. Solis has been medically cleared after suffering having a surgical procedure for an eyebrow injury that has plagued him for a long time.

Brian Viloria broke Solis' long title run in April by handing the Mexican fighter the second loss of his career, and the first by knockout, in the eleventh round to win the IBF junior flyweight title. The fight was held at the Araneta Coliseum in Metro Manila, Philippines. Solis hopes to get a rematch and wants it to take place in Mexico.
