"I thought so, that's a dangerous fighter and strong," the promoter said yesterday. "When they signed the fight I said, 'So long as a champion Edgar Sosa." Mayol Calderon are the best in that division and they have demonstrated that.
But Rivera ruled out a third bout-this time-unification between the Puerto Rican and Filipino.
"At the moment we are not interested, because they have already fought twice," said Rivera, president of the Puerto Rico Best Boxing. "The plan we have is to unify with Viloria, who fights on 23 January in the Philippines while Ivan rests. Since met already with Brian and his representatives, including Bob Arum. We are negotiating that with the condition of a rematch clause, Ivan will fight with Brian in Hawaii. If so, we have no objection to go where it is for that fight. "
The two fights between Mayol and Calderon were arrested for accidental headbutts. The first was declared a tie in the second, Calderon received a controversial technical victory.
