Viloria loss to Juan Carlos Estrada in a split decision last April at The Venetian Resort in Macau and was not able to defend his crowns, the WBA and WBO Flyweight Titles, because of that upset.

“Physically, I’m well rested. I went through a tough fight against Estrada, and some grueling wars against Segura and Marquez. I gave myself time to rest and heal up properly and get into the right state of mind,” said the Filipino-American fighter.

According to Viloria, 32-4, 19 KO’s, he is eager to have a rematch with Estrada but the latter refused to deal with him as Estrada’s camp wanted their fighter to have  few more fights before the much-awaited rematch.

Aside from his coming fight, Viloria, like the Filipino Champ Manny Pacquiao, is excited to have his first baby boy with his wife Erica.

“I’m really excited. We have three more months until the baby is due. I’m ready for that as tough as its going to be,” he said.

As of now, names of Nicaraguan Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzales and Japanese WBC Champion Akira Yaegeshi were rumored as Viloria’s next possible opponent.

Viloria will be fighting in Las Vegas, but he said he missed to fight here in the Philippines for the Filipino fans to witness his improvement.
