from www.*********.com :
*********.com can confirm that WBC/WBA super welterweight champion Winky Wright has inked to step to middleweight to face superstar Felix Trinidad. "The fight is signed," promoter Gary Shaw, who represented Wright in negotiations with Don King Productions, told *********. "There is a fight...we have a deal." Shaw increased the purse initially offered to Wright by approximately one million dollars. No other details are set at this point, but reports out of Puerto Rico have the bout taking place on May 14, possibly in New York City. Promoter Don King has also applied to hold the bout on May 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. HBO Pay-Per-View will televise.

This is gonna be a great fight, I know many people don't like Winky's style. But this is gonna be one hell of a fight.
