Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez (51-2-2, 28KOs) stressed that he wants to defend his title once again in his homeland of Argentina. This past April, Martinez fought before a crowd of 40,000 fans in Argentina, and won a close decision over unbeaten British challenger Martin Murry. During the fight Martinez suffered several injuries and has to rehab those injuries until the end of the year. He won't be capable of fighting until the first quarter of 2014.

 

“There’s nothing defined yet, but I want to fight in April or May 2014. I want this fight to be in Argentina once again.” said the WBC middleweight champion. The coming weeks will probably define my future. I hope I  have good news."
