Jhonny Gonzalez-Guty Espadas in Talks For June Bout

By Miguel Rivera

WBC President Jose Sulaiman says the first defense of the newly crowned featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez (48-7, 42KOs) will likely come against Guty Espadas Jr (45-8, 28KOs) in the month of June in Campache, Mexico. Gonzalez won the title last Friday when he traveled to Kobe, Japan to stop Hozumi Hasegawa in the fourth round. Espadas has not fought since last February's twelve round decision loss to then featherweight champion Elio Rojas.
