BoxingTalk spoke with Julio Diaz’ promoter Michael Marley from Sycuan Ringside on Tuesday evening regarding the issue of the IBF stripping Diaz of his belt if he faces Jose Luis Castillo, to which Marley responded, “Julio Diaz is going to go on to defeat Castillo in a great fight on March 5th, and we believe based on the letter we have from the IBF, that they’re going to work with us. Sycuan wants to be fair to everybody. We respect the IBF, and we have love for the IBF. All I can tell you is that Julio Diaz will be in the ring on March 5th, and he’s going in there to destroy Castillo."
