The World Boxing Council has ordered the free negotiations period for the Vanes Martirosyan vs. Alfredo Angulo fight to determine the mandatory challenger in the WBC super welterweight division.
Martirosyan, a native of Armenia living in Glendale, California, (30-0-0 / 19 KOs) won the WBC super welterweight Silver Championship with a spectacular knockout against Saul Roman. Angulo, of Mexicali, Baja California (19-1-0 / 16 KOs), defeated Joachim Alcine in his last fight with an impressive first-round knockout.
If there is no agreement in the free negotiations period, a purse offer will be conducted at the WBC Executive Offices in Mexico City on August 19, 2011.
