Easter Eyes April Return In Vegas

10 months after his unanimous decision loss to Mikey Garcia, former lightweight world champion Robert Easter Jr. is near a deal to fight on April 27th.

Initially reported on Wednesday by ESPN, Showtime is finalizing the details of an April 27th card from Las Vegas that would see Easter fight former junior lightweight and lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy.

While Easter has been idle for nearly a year, Barthelemy looks to keep the momentum of his December stoppage of Robert Frankel.
