Undisputed world welterweight champion Zab Judah has offered to fill the breach and challenge WBC junior-welterweight champion Arturo Gatti.
On discovering that that undefeated pound for pound top 10 fighter Floyd Mayweather jr had failed to agree terms for a June 11 HBO Pay Per View date with Gatti Judah jumped at the opportunity of a potential 'Super fight' against one of the most exciting fighters in the world.
"Arturo Gatti is one of the most exciting fighters in the ring today, and I'd welcome the opportunity to fight him on June 11 at any weight," Judah said earlier today (March . I'm available anytime, anyplace and at any weight to fight the best fighters in the world."
Judah's promoter, Don King, echoed his fighter's sentiments and took it one step further: "Zab would love to fight Arturo Gatti, and if that can't get done he'd be willing to fight Floyd Mayweather, too," an emphatic King said. "I look forward to discussing this further with Arturo's promoter Main Events. I know Arturo is courageous, but is he courageous enough to step in the ring with Zab Judah.?
"Furthermore, is his promoter willing to pit the courageous Gatti against the invincible Judah? I'm willing to do it. Are you willing to give this to the public, Main Events?
Gatti, 39-6-(29), had planned to announce his fight with Mayweather (33-0-(22), as early as Jan. 29 at the post-fight press conference after Gatti stopped Jesse James Leija in Atlantic City. The fight was unable to be finalized and was scrapped on Friday.
Judah, 33-2-1 NC-(24), scored a ninth-round technical knockout over Cory Spinks in St. Louis on February 5 in front of the largest crowd to witness a boxing match at an indoor arena (22,370) and become the undisputed world welterweight champion.
