WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, and trainer/manager Nacho Beristain, are taking a good look at a possible clash with countryman Erik Morales in March. Beristain says the fight with Morales is not a fantasy anymore. Depending on what happens with Morales' fight next Saturday against Jorge Barrios, Marquez could begin training camp at the end of January/early February.
Next month, Marquez will visit Russia with his hall of fame trainer Nacho Beristain. They plan to confirm the schedule of travel in the next few days
"We were invited to give some interviews and to stage a public workout for the people in Russia. For me, it's a good opportunity because I know this country and I like knowing that there are people in other parts of the world who are interested in my work," Marquez told Sal Rodriguez.
"They offered us good money to go and I just hope that I can confirm the trip for mid-January. It's one more reason to tell the promoters of Manny Pacquiao that a third fight is what matters to the people."
