Glenn Donaire is back on June 15. (Team Donaire)

San Leandro-based flyweight Glenn Donaire (19-4-1, 10 KOs) will return to the ring on June 15 against Puerto Rico's Daniel Lozano (11-0, 8 KOs) in a bout that will take place in Kissimmee, Fla., and will be televised by Telemundo.

Donaire is coming off a NorCal Fight of the Year Candidate against Omar Salado in March that was heavily contested but won by the East Bay fighter via unanimous decision.  Since coming back from a  three-year hiatus, Donaire is 2-0 with two knockouts.

Meanwhile, Lozano is 10 years younger than Donaire and has never faced anyone of his caliber until now.  In his last outing in February, he decked Manuel Galaviz twice with body shots en route to a first-round stoppage.
