A possible rematch between retired former middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and Julio Cesar Chavez has been bandied about, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
“It’s not true,” Promoter Eddie Hearn told ESPN about a deal being close. “Yes, I have spoken to both fighters regarding the fight, but there is no contract, nothing signed, no deal in place. It’s something that has been discussed, but a deal is not imminent. It’s not at all done.”
“I’m curious about the fight, but honestly I don’t think it has legs, no pun intended,” Hearn said of the fight rumored for Nov. 17 either in Las Vegas or a site in Texas.
