After an emphatic and career-defining victory against legitimate top pound-for-pound slugger Giovani Segura, WBO flyweight champion Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria is back on top of boxing's food chain.
For his manager Gary Gittelsohn, this was Viloria's fulfillment of a promise and the fight that ultimately made him "a man". Gittelsohn knows the favorable position they are currently now in and will be seeking out the best possible opportunities for his fighter moving on.
Here's an exclusive dSourceBoxing.com video of Viloria's manager Gittelsohn discussing possibilities for his next fight.
"The possible opponents that come to mind are Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, who is a historic figure in the division. Tyson Marquez who is the WBA flyweight champion. Ivan Calderon, who many people may think may not be a competitive fight for Brian but styles do make fights..."
"I think [during the Segura fight] Brian really became a man, and Brian delivered on a promise that everyone knew he made years ago. What this does to his career is unimaginable, because it takes more these days than winning a world title. It takes big wins against fighters that the public don't expect you to beat. Brian wasn't expected to have such an easy time with as powerful a presence as Segura. In beating him, this puts as in the catbird seat. We can go after Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and sell that for a lot of money."
