Hatton to fight Urango?

[kurtangle01]

rumours are surfacing that hatton may fight castillo next year.

It was reported by boxing scribe Dan Rafael of ESPN, that Jose Luis Castillo's promoter Bob Arum and Artie Pelullo, co-promoter of WBA welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, have had several discussions about matching the two fighters in an HBO PPV fight in the first quarter of 2007. The possibility of the fight actually taking place appears to be good.

Two obvious obstacles are in the way, Hatton needs to win his December bout, likely against Oktay Urkal and Castillo must serve out the suspension that the Nevada Athletic Commission will hand down for being unable to make weight for his third bout with Diego Corrales.

"We'd like to have Castillo fight Hatton. They'll probably suspend him until the end of the year," Arum said. "If they do that, we would have him fight in Mexico in a tune-up fight at the end of the year and then have him ready for March or April on HBO. I have talked to Artie, [co-promoter] Dennis Hobson, all of them. It's a big fight and I think it would do very well. It's an exciting match."

may have been on the undercard for one of the big American fights over the past month. Needless to say, he knocked his man out, i think in the first round, very powerfull guy, Tyson esque in his looks (small stocky) and style. Id keep an eye out anyway, the is bound to be good things written about him.

i think andre berto is the guy you are talking about. he's on sky now.
