Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said that negotiations look "promising" for Victor Ortiz (28-2-2, 22 KOs) to challenge WBC welterweight King Andre Berto (27-0, 21 knockouts), as part of an HBO televised, April 16, split-site double-header that will include WBA junior welterweight king Amir Khan fighting from his native England.
"I met with Victor Ortiz today, and we're working on Victor and Berto. There are a few things that I need to discuss as a follow up with Victor, but it looks promising," said Schaefer. "It would be April 16, and it would be together with the Khan fight from England, tape-delayed, and paired with the live fight of Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto."
