Gamboa's Return is Eyed For March: Litzau, Cordoba

By Lem Satterfield

WBA and IBF featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (19-0, 15 KOs) could return for an HBO televised bout in March, according to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum. There plans to match him against WBA champion in recess, Chris John (44-0-2, 22 KOs), but Arum says the Indonesian star "is unavailable" for Gamboa. As a result, Gamboa is considering  southpaw super bantamweight Ricardo Cordoba (37-3-2, 23 KOs) and super featherweight contender Jason Litzau (28-2, 21 KOs).

Arum says rising featherweight contender Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia (24-0, 20 KOs)will likely appear in the co-feature slot to Gamboa's return.
