SAN JUAN - The Mexican Marco Antonio "El Veneno" Rubio will not be a stumbling block in the plans of the new monarch middleweight World Boxing Council (WBC), Miguel Angel Cotto, who is planning a return to the ring in the month of December.
Rubio, first ranked WBC agreed this year to clear the way to then champion Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez so he could face Cotto last June 7 in Madison Square Garden in New York.
According to Cotto's advisor, the lawyer Gabriel Peñagarícano, the agreement was only between Martinez and Rubio.
"Before the fight between Cotto and Martinez, Rubio reached a written agreement between the promoter and the promoters of Martinez, but we did not stop that contract," revealed Peñagarícano.
Rubio demanded in recent days face Cotto since according to him "is a mandatory fight."
Peñagarícano forward to meet in the coming days with the Chairman of the Board World of Boxing , Mauricio Sulaiman, to clarify the matter that could well jeopardize a possible billionaire crash in December in New York between the Puerto Rican and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
"Prior to the fight, Martinez and Rubio reached an agreement that was not us. We want to know what the status of that and will be a topic to discuss with Sulaiman in the coming days," he added.
In a recent interview with ESPNDeportes.com Rubio said that a clash between him and Cotto "is not a whim, I won my things in the ring, I won my right to fight the champion and I demand my right, there should be only one champion and should be Cotto or me. "
Rubio is represented by the company Village Promotions, owned by Reginaldo and Oswaldo Kluche promoters, and current interim middleweight champion WBC.
The Mexican won the right to face champion owned by defeating last April in Mé xico , Domenico Spada by knockout in the tenth assault.
