By Jhonny Gonzalez

According to WBC President Jose Sulaiman, former champion Juan Carlos Salgado (22-1, 16KOs) is the possible opponent to challenge WBC super featherweight champion Takahiro Aoh in 2011. Salgado won the WBA's version of the title when he destroyed Jorge Linares in one round. He lost the belt in his first defense when Takashi Uchiyama stopped him in twelve.

Akihiko Honda, president of Teiken Promotions, is planning a big doubleheader event in the first quarter of 2011. The main event would see WBC featherweight champion Hozumi Hasegawa (29-3, 12KOs) make the first defense of his title against mandatory challenger Jhonny Gonzalez (47-7, 41KOs) of Mexico.
