Judah to fight Matthysse on Nov. 6

Published Sep. 11, 2010 1:00 a.m. ET

Former welterweight champion Zab Judah will return to the ring on Nov. 6 when he faces Argentina's Lucas Matthysse at the Prudential Center.

Judah (39-6, 27 KOs) will be a significant step up in class for Matthysse, who is 27-0 with 25 knockouts. The 27-year-old's best win came against Vivian Harris in February.

Judah has won three straight fights, including an impressive second-round knockout of Ubaldo Hernandez and an even more emphatic third-round knockout of Jose Armando Santa Cruz in July.

He's hoping to make a statement in a loaded junior welterweight division that includes such names as Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander and Amir Khan.
