    Sergio Martinez to host boxing reality series in Mexico



    RING middleweight champion Sergio Martinez has begun filming to play host to a reality boxing series out of Mexico that will produce a contender for the WBC's 122-pound crown, according to Martinez's adviser, Sampson Lewkowicz, who will be the tournament's matchmaker.

    "The series is called, The Challenge of the Champions, and there will be a press release coming out on it, and Sergio will be the host of the show, which will last about six weeks," said Lewkowicz.

    "There will be 16 fighters in the tournament fighting in the 122-pound weight class based in Mexico City," said Lewkowicz. "The winner will fight for a world title for the WBC. It will have fighters competing from all over the world. Thailand, the Philippines, all over. And I am the matchmaker of the show."

          He doesn't do that, 154 is the lowest weight he will fight at.

          Interestingly 154 is also where Pacquaio won a championship in his record 8th weight class.

            that's awesome, i really love the UFC's the ultimate fighter series, and i never got around to watching the contender's previous seasons, so i'm deff going to check this out. good to hear him getting some deals outside of just fighting. pretty interesting though, the wbc has something to do with this...hope it's not their gift to him for the chavez ducking,

                Not yet...

                Lou Dibella did say he was trying to promote Sergio in Mexico to expose him to the Spanish speaking public. I guess this is a step.

                    I read an interview where Sergio says he loves living in Mexico. They love great boxers there so I guess it's a good fit.
