Clottey set to face Quintana on December 5!

Former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey finally has an opponent for his December 5 bout.  In the HBO televised opening bout  to the Pavlik vs. Williams middleweight title fight at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Clottey will face Former WBO welterweight champion Carlos Quintana in a battle of former welterweight champions.  Quintana is best known for his upset unanimous decision victory over Paul Williams in February of 2008 to win the title, but Williams would knock Quintana out in the first round of their June 2008 rematch to reclaim to it.  Clottey two biggest fights to date have come in title challenges against former two time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and WBO welterweight Miguel Cotto.  Clottey dropped close decisions in both  fights.
