This Saturdays pay per view clash between Ivan Calderon 34 (KO 6) -0-1 and Giovanni Segura 24 (KO 20) -1-0 for the unification of the WBO and WBA 108lb belt is of special significance to WBA 105 lb champion Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez 25 (KO 21) -0.
In recent months Gonzalez has been very vocal in his desire to fight Calderon after a verbal altercation in Managua earlier this year.
“Although I would love to shut Calderons mouth; it really doesn’t matter who wins. They are fighting for a WBA title so there is no way the winner can avoid me now without vacating the title”.
Gonzalez is making a long overdue return to the ring in the 108lb division next Friday against Mexican Jesus Limones 16(9)-1-1 in Managua.
Gonzalez has not fought since the January 30th demolishing of Ivan Chicken Meneses in Mexico in four rounds.
The fight is a non title 10 round tune up for the 4th defense of his 105lb crown in Japan later this year.
“The issues that have kept me out of the ring are a thing of the past”. Gonzalez says “I am ready to take my career to the next level and Segura and Calderon are in my way”.
