Jason Litzau Eyes Takashi Uchiyama, Takahiro Aoh

By Lem Satterfield

Super featherweight Jason Litzau (28-2, 21KOs) is exploring every road possible. After winning an upset decision over Celestino Caballero in November, the 27-year-old Litzau's "ring worth" has skyrocketed.

Among the fighters trying to get him in the ring, is WBA/IBF featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (19-0, 15 KOs) and, southpaw featherweight contender Daniel Ponce De Leon (41-2, 34 knockouts).

Litzau's promoter, John Wirt, of Square Ring Promotions, says Gamboa-Litzau has been considered for a March 26 clash on HBO. Wirt said that Ponce De Leon would be for April 9, which is going to be the Juan Manuel Marquez card in Las Vegas.

Those are not the only names on the table. Litzau is also taking a look at possibily facing one of the super featherweight champions from Japan, Takashi Uchiyama (16-0, 13 KOs), and, Takahiro Aoh (20-2-1, nine KOs), respectively, of the WBA and WBC. 

"We're considering Gamboa for an over-the-weight fight, but we're also considering Ponce De Leon as well," Wirt said of Litzau, who has not lost since being stopped by Robert Guerrero (28-1-1, 18 KOs) in an IBF featherweight title bout in February 2008.

"Lou DiBella is our partner in Litzau. There are also fights against the Japanese champions that we are also considering. So there are a bunch of different things and options that are on the table for Jason. We're talking to everybody."
