Three-time world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero will fight Michael Katsidis on April 9 in Las Vegas, a source with the Guerrero camp said Thursday.
The HBO pay-per-view bout will be featured on the undercard of a welterweight fight between Erik Morales and Marcos Maidana at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Guerrero (28-1-1, 18 KOs) and Katsidis were scheduled to clash in March 2010, but the bout was called off as Guerrero took time to be with his wife, Casey, who was recovering from a bone marrow transplant.
Katsidis (27-3, 22 KOs) recently lost his bid for the WBO Lightweight crown last November, suffering a ninth-round TKO to titleholder Juan Manuel Marquez.
Guerrero, as the mandatory for the next world title shot, has been lobbying with fervor for a crack at Marquez.
