IBF light flyweight champion Brian Viloria who retained his title with a comfortable twelve round unanimous decision over rugged Jesus Iribe of Mexico said he would like to go for the title of Ivan Calderon in a unification bout should Calderon beat fellow Filipino Rodel Mayol in their rematch on September 12 in Puerto Rico.

However, Viloria said the fight he really wants is a rematch with WBC champion Edgar Sosa who beat him by a close majority decision on April 14, 2007 although he claimed “given that Sosa has been trying to dodge all the champions out there I think that’s going to be really tough to make it happen. Right now I am trying to get as much title defenses and hold on to the world title as long as I can and maybe down the line we’ll move up to 112 (flyweight) or 115 (super flyweight). “

Viloria said he is “hot right now . I’m on the top of my game and a lot better than I was two years ago . I don’t think I could be beaten right now . At this point in my career I am so mentally and physically ready for anything, I can fight tomorrow if I wanted to.”
