Junior middleweight contender and son of legend Hector Camacho, Jr has denied that he backed out of a November 8 match up with former world champion Luis Ramon “Yory Boy” Campas in Tijuana, MX because of weight issues as claimed by the event’s promoter.
Camacho not only vehemently denies that he is out of shape; he also says he was never given a contract for the November 8 contest. “I didn’t know anything about the bout,” Camacho said. “I would have loved the match up (with Campas) but I never got a contract for it. I don’t know where this rumor came from.” Camacho (46-3-1, 26 KO’s) says he’s been training for a November 20 scheduled 10-round bout with Dave Saunders in Altoona, IA. As to the question of Camacho’s physical condition, the Orlando, FL resident says he is currently near the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds. “I’m at 155 now so I am in great shape,” Camacho said. “So why would I back out of a fight?”
In Camacho last fight in May of 2008 against Roel Salinas at the Plaza De Toros El Paseo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The Puerto Rican looked fat and weight 168. What are your thoughts about Camacho Jr.?
I talked with a member of the Tijuana Boxing Comission and he told me that I can get that copy of the contract next tuesday, he said that Camacho signed and Zanfer is looking to sue him or maybe get him to fight Julito Chavez to clear the legal problems.
This tuesday Camacho is gonna be reported to FECOMBOX, so he can’t fight in Mexico (for 6 months or a year, that’s what there gonna decide tuesday).
Any news I get, I’ll shoot them your way
