Promoter, Lou DiBella, told ESPN that he might match middleweight contender Matthew Macklin (28-4, 19 KO) with former junior middleweight titlist Joachim Alcine (33-2-1, 19 KOs) as part of the undercard for the Sergio Martinez vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Sept. 15 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Macklin gave Martinez a very tough fight on March 17. He knocked Martinez down in the seventh round and was dropped twice himself in the 11th round before the fight was stopped in his corner after the round. Also there’s a possibility junior featherweight titlist Guillermo Rigondeaux to be on the card as well.
Sergio Martinez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will have a photo shoot on July 9 in Los Angeles, followed by a kickoff news conference there on July 10. The media tour will continue with stops in Las Vegas (July 11), New York (July 12) and Mexico City (July 13), although the specific locations have not been finalized.
