By Mark Vester

It appears former WBA flyweight champion Eric Morel (41-2, 21KOs) is tired of waiting for WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel. According to promoters in Japan, Morel has agreed to challenge WBC champion Hozumi Hasegawa (27-2, 11KOs) on December 18 at the World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan. Hasegawa will be making his tenth defense and comes off an impressive first round blowout of Nestor Rocha.
