Former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17KOs) is hinting that a major fight is coming in the near future.
As reported a few days ago, Gamboa signed a promotional agreement with a brand new company, BB Promotions out of Spain. The Olympic gold medal winner is nearly finished up with his current promotional deal with SMS Promotions, which is owned by rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson.
By way of a lawsuit, Gamboa tried to break his contract with Jackson a few months ago, but a court refused to break the promotional agreement.
Gamboa's alliance with Jackson has stagnated his career. He only had a single fight in 2015, two fights in 2014 and one fight in 2013.
The Olympic gold medal winner expects some very big moves with his new promotional agreement. In the past BB Promotions ??tried to break into the Cuban market when made efforts to sign Guillermo Rigondeaux, but they seem to have had better luck with Gamboa.
"When I was in Europe, we traveled to Barcelona and spoke with Spanish entrepreneurs," said Gamboa to George Ebro. "Whatever happens, I am determined that 2016 will be better in every way. ''
According to BB Promotions, they want to get Gamboa major fights with Javier Fortuna or Jamaican Nicholas Walters, two of the best at 130 pounds.
Gamboa, 34-years-old, would not disclose the names they are negotiating with.
"I can not say names, but if it happens it's going to be something very big, something that if I tell you - you're going to shake. Yes I can announce that I will return to national TV, on HBO [maybe next month] or in June.'
"Everything happens for a reason, and although some may not believe it - the best is yet to come. Things are aligning, we have very good plans with television. I still have a lot to give.''
