Watsonville's Carina Moreno will defend her 105-pound world title April 23 at Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore against a yet-to-be-announced opponent, possibly former national amateur champ Chantel Cordova.

Moreno's trainer and co-manager, Rick Noble, said the 10-round title bout will hopefully be her last in the 105-pound weight class. She plans to move up to 108 pounds for a June 6 fight in New Zealand, although that show is still under negotiation and no opponent has been named.

Tickets for the Tachi Palace show may be obtained by calling 1-800-225-2277 or through Tickets.com.
