According to the Guillermo Brito, the operations director of Zanfer Promotions, Marco Antonio Barrera might be taking another tuneup fight prior to meeting WBC lightweight champion Humberto Soto. Brito says one fight being discussed right now would see Barrera fight David Diaz for a WBC International lightweight title on a date in September in Nuevo Vallarta, Tepic. Though, there is still the possibility Soto-Barrera goes ahead as planned without a tuneup involved.
Brito also said they are discussing several possibilities for the next fight of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The "son of a legend" is scheduled to return on September 25 in Mexico. One name Brito mentioned was former two division champion Ricardo Mayorga. Barrera's tuneup may take place on the same card in the co-feature.
Both Barrera and Chavez are co-promoted by Zanfer and Top Rank Promotions.
