WBO junior flyweight champion Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon is crossing his fingers that his unification bout with IBF champ Brian Viloria will go through. Calderon is targeting next March for the bout. Viloria has a title defense scheduled in January against Carlos Tamara. Calderon is nervous that something bad will happen in that fight.
"I hope nothing happens to Viloria. For several years we been talking about the fight with Viloria, but we were unlucky as he lost a fight, or was injured," Calderon said to Primera Hora.
If Viloria is upset, Calderon will face someone in the top ten but he won't move up to 112-pounds.
"That is what is being negotiated [a Viloria fight in March], but in case he loses - we're looking for an alternative plan," Calderon said. "We will look for the best alternative against someone ranked in the top ten. It is not in my plans to go up to 112-pounds. People know that is not my weight."
