Cathedral City boxer Timothy Bradley will return home for a second title defense of his WBO junior welterweight title.

Bradley (24-0, 11 KOs) takes on top contender Lamont Peterson (27-0, 13 KOs) on Dec. 12 at The Show at the Agua Caliente Casino, Resort and Spa.

It will be Bradley's second fight in the Valley, with both at The Show.

Tickets for the fight go on sale Monday at HotWaterCasino.com, The Show box office or 1-800-585-3737.

Next Tuesday, Bradley and Peterson will host a press conference at the Cahuilla Ballroom in the casino at noon. The press conference is open to the public.

The bout will be televised on Showtime.

The broadcast will open with World Super Flyweight Champion Vic Darchinyan (32-2-1, 26 KOs) defending his WBC super flyweight title and WBA Super World super flyweight titles against Tomas Rojas (31-11-1, 22 KOs) of Mexico.

In Bradley's last fight, also at The Show, he defeated Nate Campbell by a third-round TKO on Aug. 1, only to have the California State Athletic Commission overturn the ruling, making the bout a no contest.
