Gonzalez, 29, will get another crack at Wangek (43-4-1, 39 KOs) while also potentially setting up a much-bigger fight next year. That’s because Japanese sensation Naoya Inoue – The RING’s No. 10 pound-for-pound fighter – is slated to make his American debut in the HBO co-feature.
“I think it was a great fight the first time, Srisaket rose to the occasion,” Loeffler said. “It was controversial where many people thought Chocolatito did enough to retain his title, but that’s why the WBC ordered a rematch. (It’s) one of those fights fans are looking forward to seeing again.
