Santos must rearrange fall schedule

WBO junior middleweight champ Daniel Santos is rearranging his plans now that his potential opponent, Cory Spinks, has signed with a rival promoter. “The fight with Spinks is cancelled, at least for the moment,” Santos’ advisor, Juan Manuel Gonzalez, told the Latin media. Santos recently signed a promotional contract with Don King. “I just finished speaking with [a Don King employee who] informed us that was the situation,” continued Gonzalez.  The silver lining for  Santos is that a bout with Spinks would have come in October, but now he may see action as soon as the first week in September. “It’s actually better this way because a fight with Spinks wouldn’t take place until October 1. This way Santos can fight again by January.”
