Julio Cesar Chavez Jr will feature on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's huge showdown with Miguel Cotto next month.

JC Jr, son of the legendary Mexican great, will face Michigan-based Troy Rowland in a 10-rounder at middleweight on the big MGM Grand bill in Las Vegas.

Chavez Jr is the WBC's number-one ranked light-middleweight contender, and will be expected to improve his 40-0-1 record against Rowland (25-2).

Another decent name appearing on the big card is Daniel Santos, who defends his WBA light-middleweight crown against against unbeaten number-one contender Yuri Foreman.
