Bute is scheduled to face Glen Johnson in a bout televised by Showtime on November 5th. The Boxing Lab's Ernest Gabion asked the fighter of Romanian descent about a potential matchup with middleweight king Sergio Martinez at a catchweight.

"It would be an honor to fight Sergio Martinez," stated Bute. "I met him at the Boxing Hall of Fame. He is a great fighter. We could fight at 166 pounds."

Martinez faces Darren Barker on October 1st in a bout broadcast by HBO. Martinez has been unsuccessful in securing a fight against one of the top fighters. 

Martinez has said n numerous occasions that he would move down in weight for a big fight. It is unknown if he is willing to move up.
