The World Boxing Council has ordered the free negotiations period for the Martirosyan vs. Angulo fight to determine the mandatory challenger in the WBC Super welterweight division.
Vanes Martirosyan, of Armenia (30-0-0 / 19 KO?s) conquered the WBC Super Welterweight Silver Championship in a spectacular knockout against Saul Roman. Alfredo Angulo, of Mexico (19-1-0 / 16 KO?s), defeated Joachim Alcine, in his last fight in an impressive first-round knockout.
Martirosyan is trained by pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach while his strength and conditioning is handled by Alex Ariza who also works with Pacquiao and recently returned to the fold of WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Amir Khan..
If there is no agreement in the free negotiations period a purse offer will be conducted at the WBC Executive Offices in Mexico City on August 19th, 2011.
