Fernando Beltran, President of Zanfer Promotions, advised BoxingScene.com that a proposed middleweight fight, between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0, 30KOs) and Sebastian Zbik (30-0, 10KOs), will likely take place at the end of May. Chavez is return on January 29 in Mexico against Billy Lyell. Discussions between Zanfer and Universum are going well, says Beltran.

"It won't be in March. The fight will happen at the end of May. We need the time to promote it. Talks are going well. They have no problem with coming over here [to Mexico]. Chavez is very anxious to fight and it's good that he's anxious to fight. But it would be at the end of May," Beltran said to BoxingScene.com.
