Charlo and his Argentine opponent clash in California as the American puts his IBF, WBC and WBA Super titles on the line while while looking to obtain the WBO belt held by Castano.
Charlo, 31, will carry a 34-1-1 (18 knockouts) professional record into the main-event contest, while 32-year-old Castano is undefeated at 17-0-2 (12 KOs).
Neither man has competed since their initial in-ring meeting in Texas, with this fight clearly being the only one to make after their closely-contested bout last summer.
