Ryan Burton speaks with former champion and top junior welterweight Zab Judah about a potential fight with WBC/WBA beltholder Danny Garcia, and more.

BoxingScene.com spoke to former two division champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29KOs) shortly after Danny Garcia's stirring knockout victory over Amir Khan. Judah has been inactive since his knockout victory over Vernon Paris that awarded him the number position in the IBF's junior welterweight rankings.

By Jake Donovan - Kathy Duva and her Main Events promotional company didn’t quite know what to expect once the initial one-year, four-fight deal with NBC Sports Network ran out. Thankfully, she won’t have to worry about that for at least the next two years. NBC Sports agreed to extend its ‘Fight Night’ series another two years, to run through 2014. In addition, the series received an upgrade of a guaranteed minimum of six fights per season, up from the four slots Main Events was promised for the inaugural season. In addition, a promise was made of up to two shows per year to air live on its flagship station NBC.

Top rated junior welterweight Zab Judah states that he apologized to his former foe, hall-of-famer Kostya Tszyu, during their ten year reunion in Moscow, Russia. Back on November 3 2001 in Las Vegas, the two boxers met in a very important fight with the WBC, IBF and WBA junior welterweight titles at stake. Judah started fast in the first, but he was knocked down and stopped by Tszyu in the second round. After the stoppage, Judah was very angry and became violent. He threw a chair, was pushing people and grabbed the throat of referee Jay Nady.

Moscow prepares for its third big boxing event in 2012. For the second time this year, WBA #11 junior welterweight Khabib Allakhverdiev (16-0, 7 KOs) takes his part in the event as the headliner.

After ten years, Zab Judah and Kostya Tszyu will meet face to face. In a major unification bout in November 2001, Tszyu stopped Judah to unify the IBF/WBC/WBA titles at 140-pounds. Later this week, Judah is going to arrive in Moscow, Russia. The boxer has been invited to Moscow by promoter Vladimir Hryunov. Photo by Daniel Galimzyanov.

BoxingScene.com has been advised that despite earlier reports that a junior welterweight fight between Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39KOs) and Zab Judah (42-7, 29KOs) is being discussed for July 14th at Cowboys Stadium in Texas, former champion Brandon Rios (30-1, 22KOs) is still very much an option for Marquez.

According to sources on both sides, there are ongoing negotiations between Top Rank and Main Events to finalize a junior welterweight fight between Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39KOs) and Zab Judah (42-7, 29KOs) for July 14th at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Marquez holds the WBO's interim-title. Judah was present in the press room at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and appears to be confident that a deal will be closed for a fight with Marquez.
