untitledAustin Trout will return to the ring on December 11th on ESPN2 at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California, when he takes on Luis Grajeda according to ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael (http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/11782091/austin-trout-fight-luis-grajeda-dec-11-dan-goossen-tribute-event).

The bout will be the headliner to a special edition of ESPN Boxing as it honors Dan Goossen, the late boxing promoter who passed away September 29th. His promotional company, Goossen Promotions will be the one promoting the show.

Austin Trout returned on ESPN 2 defeating Daniel Dawson this year after two losses to Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara last year. In that bout Trout suffered two knockdowns in the 3rd round but got up and won a decision over Dawson. Trout attributes the knockdowns to rust and long layoffs and his goal now is to remain active.

Grajeda was last seen on ESPN2 where he lost a decision to Willie Nelson.

According to Rafael, Chris Arreola will also be on the card likely facing Hoe Hanks with a third bout featuring a fight with Johnathan Banks against Antonio Tarver.
