WBA interim-junior flyweight champion Juan Carlos Reveco (25-1, 15KOs) of Argentina has threatened to vacate his title if the WBC does not recognize his separation from promoter Osvaldo Rivero. Reveco admitted he is considering a proposal from manager Mario Arano, who in turn is trying to settle the dispute with the WBA.

"Arano said if I won the title in the ring, I have to lose it in the ring, and we're working on that. I sent a letter to Panama and my lawyers are trying to settle the situation If the situation does not change, then I will vacate the title because I don't want to have anything more to do with Rivero," Reveco said. "I had six world title fights and then I found out the amount of money that was at stake and compared it with what he gave to me and, frankly, it made me want to go out and kill someone."
