Newly enthroned WBC Lightweight Champion Diego “Chico” Corrales wants a second crowning ceremony, with Floyd Mayweather as the special guest of honor.
Diego and his Promoter Gary Shaw, were in Mexico City to be presented with the famous green belt by WBC President Jose Sulaiman, following his thrilling, spectacular and controversial victory over toughster Jose Luis Castillo. Hugging the belt tightly Diego beamed: “Come hell or high water, I’m keeping this. I might even sleep with it tonight.”
Shaw confirmed that a re-match with Castillo is scheduled for October 8th at the Thomas & Mack Center, but he also stressed that the final deal has yet to be initialed, due to ongoing negotiations which have yet to be ironed out.
