After the fight with Joshua Clottey fell apart, former champion Carlos Quintana found hinself in limbo. But it now appears that a new opponent has been found and Quintana plans to move forward with his ring return on December 5 in Atlantic City. Quintana will face veteran Jesse Feliciano on the untelevised undercard to Paul Williams-Sergio Martinez.

Trainer Jose Bonilla says the team is not overlooking Feliciano.

"You can view the fight against Feliciano as a step backwards, but in reality Quintana has gone a long time without taking a fight. No doubt he would have be a little rusty against Clottey and it wasn't the right time to face a fighter of his quality," Bonilla told Primera Hora. "Feliciano is not an easy opponent, we know and we should be well prepared because we are hopeful that [after a win] good things happen for Quintana."
