Last month, WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder, which could prevent a possible fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on December 4. Gabriel Peņagaricano, Cotto's lawyer, said the surgery should not alter their plans for a Chavez fight at the end of the year.
"Regarding his plans, he wants to fight later this year. It will not affect him. It will not alter plans," said Peņagaricano to Fernando Reyes.
But at a recent Boxeo Boricua press conference in Puerto Rico, Cotto told a reporter that because of the shoulder surgery, he may not be able to start training until November. The training delay has not been confirmed.
Peņagaricano was reached for comment and appears confident that Cotto's plan to fight in December will not be affected.
"We have had preliminary discussions. We talked about fighting at the end of the year and discussed a few options for opponents. Chavez is one of them," insisted Peņagaricano.
