According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, a deal has been made for Patrick Teixeira to defend his WBO Jr. Middleweight title against Brian Castanao.
“We made a deal late, in the 11th hour. It will be a tough, competitive fight,” Golden Boy Promotions Eric Gomez told ESPN on Wednesday morning, after having previously termed the odds of a deal between the camps as “no chance.”
Gomez said the fight would take place on a Golden Boy card in April or May.
“We have a few options,” Gomez said.
Gomez, who declined to disclose terms for the bout, said of the breakthrough that led to an agreement: “They got off the million dollar boat.”
