CABALLERO-GAMBOA UNDER SERIOUS DISCUSSION
By Ryan Burton and Scott Shaffer
Arena Box Promotions CEO Ahmet Oener, has provided Boxingtalk with some exclusive news regarding Yuriorkis Gamboa. If Celestino Caballero, who holds WBA and IBF titles at 122 pounds, wins on April 30th against Jeffrey Mathebula of South Africa, Oener says Caballero will move up to featherweight to face Gamboa. Caballero's promoter, Leon Margules confirmed the lower-weight super fight is under serious discussion pending Caballero's performance later this month. The 5'11" Caballero would be Gamboa's toughest opponent in his short pro career. Caballero already has wins over Steve Molitor, Lorenzo Parra and Daniel ponce De Leon. The most likely landing spot for this fight is Florida, perhaps the Hard Rock in Hollywood, where there is a large Latin American community.
