WBO Orders Campbell-Casamayor 2!

[Silencers]

WBO interim champion Joel Casamayor's March 22 bout against Michael Katsidis was sanctioned for the interim title with the condition that the winner must fight a mandatory defense with WBO/WBA/IBF lightweight champion Nate Campbell on or before July 6. On March 28, the WBO World Championship Committee requested that Casamayor confirm to the WBO his intention to fulfill his mandatory cbligation with Campbell. Shortly thereafter, his representatives confirmed Casamayor's intention to fulfill his obligations and his request to start negotiations immediately. The Casamayor and Campbell camps have been given 15 days to negotiate an agreement and either may request a purse bid at any time. If an accord is not reached within the time frame, a purse bid will be ordered in the following ten days.

It actually looks like this could happen, unless Casamayor wants to dump the belt.

Casa will relinquish the interm WBO title, he got the ring title anyway and thats the one that counts.

Casa fights Juan next, thats a huge fight for GBP.

the WBO only orders tough fights when they know the fighters wont agree to them

casa will drop the belt and then amir khan will fight some bum with 9 losses for the vacant belt

I remember a Santa Cruz-Casamayor rematch was ordered...but nothing came of it

Promoters hold more power than sanctioning bodies

I just read both parties are interested for the rematch and now in the works. Hopefully they'll come up to terms and agree to give us a helluva fight.
