A 32-year-old former holder of the WBA, WBC and IBF welterweight (147 pounds) belts, as well as a former champion with IBF and WBO junior welterweight crowns, Judah (38-6, 26 knockouts) is coming off of July's third-round knockout of Jose Armando Santa Cruz.
The victory was the fifth for Judah in his past six fights since a June 2007, 11th-round knockout loss to Miguel Cotto, and the third straight win since losing an August 2008 ninth-round technical decision to Joshua Clottey.
Last month, the 27-year-old Matthysse (27-0, 25 KOs) scored his fourth straight knockout victory over Mexican-born Rogelio Castaneda Jr. of Sacramento, Calif., before Matthysse's home town fans at Club Atletico Newell's Old Boys in Rosario, Sante Fe, Argentina.
Matthysse scored three knockdowns against Castaneda.
