BoxingScene was advised that Michael Katsidis will force his mandatory crack at WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
Katsidis won a decision over Vicente Escobedo to capture the interim-title on September 19.
Nacho Beristain, manager/trainer of Marquez, has discussed several scenarios in the last few weeks. Some of those scenarios have Marquez moving back to 135 pounds and other have him dropping to junior welterweight. He fought Floyd Mayweather at welterweight.
Katsidis and his team have yet to receive an answer on which way Marquez plans to go but Katsidis is targeting Marquez for early next year.
Marquez needs to make a decision to either fight Michael Katsidis or vacate his title making Katsidis the full champion.
What’s your opinion? Should Marquez fight Katsidis or move on?
Juan Manuel Marquez should fight him next year because he fought enough big fights this year. I still think he can win against Katsidis.
