In response to a recent news brief that appeared on BoxingScene.com, WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez has issued a statement. In the news brief, promoter Gary Shaw stated that he consider making a fight between Martinez and Alfredo Angulo - if it took place at 154-pounds.
Previously, Martinez made it known that he was willing to move down as low as 155-pounds to defend his middleweight title. For Angulo he appears to be willing to move down a little lower. Martinez's first priority is a rematch with Paul Williams on October 2. But, Williams has other ideas and appears to be moving forward with a planned return to the welterweight division.
"If Paul Williams doesn't step up to the plate, I will fight Angulo at 154-pounds on October 2. Angulo claims he will fight anyone, so we can fight for my former title at super welterweight. We've seen the dog bark, now we'll see if he can bite," Martinez said.
