Boxing News: Alfredo Angulo vs Vanes Martirosyan November 5 in Mexico and More

Alfredo Angulo (20-1, 17 Knockouts) will face Vanes Martirosyan (30-0, 19 Knockouts) on November 5 in Mexico on HBO. The winner becomes the mandatory to face Saul "Canelo" Alvarez for the WBC light middleweight world championship.

Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez says that he "made an offer on Thursday" according to Ring Magazine. Both sides have talked extensively about facing each other.

If this match is indeed going down, this will be the third promotion Golden Boy (Angulo's promoter) and Top Rank (Martirosyan) have participated in together since Golden Boy founder Oscar De La Hoya's apology and hatchet burial with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.

Top Ranks' Yuriorkis Gamboa (20-0, 16 Knockouts) faces Golden Boy's Daniel Ponce de Leon (41-3, 34 Knockouts) on September 10.

Golden Boy's Saul Alvarez (37-0-1, 27 Knockouts) faces Alfonso Gomez (22-4-2, 11 Knockouts) on September 17 at a split-site doubleheader with Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Victor Ortiz on HBO PPV.

Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 Knockouts) vs James Kirkland (29-1, 26 Knockouts) is another light middleweight war expected to be on the undercard.

Lara is coming off a controversial first loss to Paul Williams (40-2, 27 Knockouts). Kirkland is on a two-knockout streak following his first loss to Nobuhiro Ishida (23-6-2, 8 Knockouts) back in April.

WBC Suggests Sergio Martinez Should Face Marco Antonio Rubio

WBC president Jose Sulaiman would like Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 Knockouts) go against Marco Antonio Rubio (52-5-1, 45 Knockouts) with the winner becoming the mandatory to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (43-0-1, 30 Knockouts) for the WBC middleweight (160 lbs) world title.

According to Boxing Scene, Sulaiman said this:

"

It would be an interesting battle in Latin America and on a global scale, as Martinez is one of the best fighters pound for pound, while Rubio is a spectacular fighter with a devastating punch, and if both fighters want to fight each other—they can go ahead.

"

Sergio Martinez faces undefeated Darren Barker (23-0, 14 Knockouts) on October 1. Rubio stopped Mohammed Akrong (13-4, 10 Knockouts) in round five this past Saturday in Mexico. Chavez Jr. faces Peter Manfredo Jr. (37-6, 20 Knockouts) on HBO November 19.
