    However, the PR Best Boxing, which promotes Calderon, has other plans. At the time, negotiate a unification against Colombian Carlos Tamara, champion of the International Boxing Federation, or the Mexican Giovani Segura, the World Boxing Association.

    "Ivan has superchampion recognition of OMB, and made a mandatory defense in September 12 vs. Rodel Mayol," said Peter Rivera yesterday, vice president of PR Best Boxing, "so I think that is enough time before his next mandatory defense.

    At the time, the company looks at three possibilities.

    "They (the representatives of Segura) contacted us and made us an offer to fight in Mexico on the eighth of May," said Rivera. "We're also talking to people from Tamara," said Rivera.

    "Sampson (Lewkowicz, safety representatives) at one time told us that there was little interest in the fight with Calderon," Rivera said.

    "But he comes to Puerto Rico for the fight of Vazquez and Sonson and we will meet," he said. "In a few days, we will define (next steps)."
