MANAGUA, NICARAGUA (OCTOBER 15TH, 2009)–After more than a year of inactivity, two time former IBF world champ Luis Perez (25-3, 16 kos) returns to action in his home country of Nicaragua against fellow countryman Sergio Gomez (13-5, 9 kos). Perez will see action for the first time since his unsuccessful bid to become a champion in three different weight classes when he lost against Panamanian fighter Ricardo Cordoba in an attempt to gain the interim WBA super bantamweight title.

Perez vs. Gomez will be the headline of a big 13 bout fight card set up by Nicaraguan promotion company PRODESA in memory of former HOF boxer Alexis Arguello (RIP). Also participating in this fight card will also be world ranked fighters: Alvaro Perez (18-1-1, 12 kos), Evert Briceno (30-5-1, 25 kos) and Yader Escobar (20-2, 14 kos).

The fight card will be transmitted live via internet for the world via www.prodesa.com.ni and deferred thru www.gofightlive.tv
