Featherweight titlist Chris John (45-0-2, 22 KOs) of Indonesia, who has held his belt since 2003 and is boxing’s longest active titleholder, will make his 15th defense on Oct. 8, adviser Sampson Lewkowicz told ESPN.com. John, 31, will fight an opponent to be determined in Singapore. Since back-to-back fights against Rocky Juarez in the United States, John has fought his last two fights in Indonesia. He’s staying in Asia for his next bout because it is his most lucrative option, according to Lewkowicz. There had been some conversation about John returning to the U.S., possibly to fight Yuriorkis Gamboa, but Lewkowicz said the chances of John coming back to America are “very slim because he is getting much more money fighting in Indonesia or Singapore. He doesn’t need HBO to make good money.”

john will win by point
This bitch was gifted the fight against JJM
Gamboa should go to Asia and whoop his ass there!
Would b a nice fight..
It would be a fight to see if John made the trip out to the U.S. to fight Gamboa, I’d lean towards Gamboa to win but I doubt we will see that fight.
