Panama's Irving Berry (18-1, 9KOs) and Argentina's Jonathan Barros (30-1, 17KOs) are going to fight for the vacant WBA featherweight title. The tentative date is December 4 in Argentina but it could switch as certain details have not been finalized in the negotiations. The promoters, Osvaldo Rivero (Barros) and Rogelio Espino (Berry), are about to finalize the negotiations.
The "regular" featherweight title became vacant after the WBA made Yuriorkis Gamboa the "super champion upon winning a unification bout with IBF champion Orlando Salido. The actual "super champion" is Chris John but the sanctioning body made him the "champion in recess" because he's been injured and inactive.
