Former two divisional world champion Rafael Marquez’s manager/trainer Nacho Beristain has denied the rumors’ of a possible fight between his charge and ex super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon for title elimination.
Â
“Rafael is not going to fight Ponce. The plans for Rafael are very different. Marquez is going to fight for a title but in due time. Nothing to do with Ponce,” the trainer expressed from his world famous Romanza Gym.
Â
Beristain mentioned that Rafael next bout will be against a Colombian opponent on either the 14th or 21st of March in Chihuahua or Torreon, MX. This will be his fight after three wars that he battled versus WBC Emeritus super bantamweight champion Israel Vazquez in which Vazquez won two out of three.
Â
Nacho mentioned that Marquez will reappear immediately after that in a big fight.
