Former two-division champion Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12KOs) came a step closer to achieving his goal of a world crown on Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. He won a twelve round decision over previously undefeated Jessie Vargas to capture the interim-WBO championship.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. holds the full WBO title. The pound-for-pound king has until the end of this coming week to advise if he plans to keep the world title. If Mayweather passes on keeping the belt, then Bradley will become the full champion of the world title that he lost to Manny Pacquiao in their rematch last year.
As for the future, Bradley says he is ready to fight them all. Whether it's WBA 'regular' champion Keith Thurman, IBF champion Kell Brook, WBC/WBA super champion Mayweather or even a trilogy with Pacquiao.
"I want to fight the best, it doesn’t really matter to me. I want to fight them all, I’m not afraid of anybody. I fought the best out there, the only guy I haven’t fought is Mayweather. I’ll fight any of those guys at the top," Bradley told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.
"There’s a lot of tough guys out there. I think they’re fighting amongst each other but not a lot of guys are coming up my way."
