If Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez wants a Israel Vazquez fight it will have to be at 126 pounds.
This was revealed yesterday during an interview with the Mexican by Primera Hora, while that is waiting for the doctor gives the green light to return to the gym to train.
"I am very interested in a fight with Juan Manuel Lopez, but this would be in the featherweight (126 pounds)," Vazquez said by telephone from Los Angeles.
"I have too much time away from boxing and is healthy for my body to rise to 126," he continued.
The Mexican has been out of action since March 2008 when he defeated his compatriot Rafael Marquez. Even during the fight he suffered a tear in the retina of an eye.
"Without doubt that Lopez would be a war and I would have liked to be given before, but for various reason I have to move to 126. So you have to have a little patience, "Says the Aztec.
Also, all indications are that Vazquez will fight Márquez in a 4th combat at the end of the year.
"The possibility of a fourth fight with Marquez is near. There is interest, but this would be in the 126 lbs. Rafael has a sale this Saturday and if we are looking for either November or December, "he shared.
