BoxingScene.com was advised that a deal is inching closer for WBA super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero (32-2, 22KOs) to move up in weight and challenge undefeated WBA interim-featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (15-0, 13KOs). I was previously told the fight was being eyed for a September date, but now I'm hearing August on Showtime.
Caballero didn't look spectacular during last week's close decision win over Jeffrey Mathebula in Panama. From what I heard, Caballero had a lot of trouble making weight for that fight - and whether or not the Gamboa fight gets finalized, he is very likely to move up in weight.
