Junior middleweight (154 pounds) and middleweight (160 pounds) prospect Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.(40-0-1, 30 knockouts) of Mexico has a Dec. 4 match up opposite Alfonso Gomez (22-4-2, 11 KOs), of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mex. In victory, the 24-year-old son of the former world champion by the same name could be in line for a March shot at WBA junior middleweight king Miguel Cotto(35-2, 28 KOs) of Puerto Rico.
Chavez will prepare for Gomez under the watchful eyes of four-time Trainer of the Year, Freddie Roach, in Baguio City, Philippines. There, Roach is training WBO welterweight (147 pounds) champion Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) for his HBO pay per view televised Nov. 13 clash with ex-titlist Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) in pursuit of the vacant WBC junior middleweight crown.
Chavez, promoted by Top Rank Promotions, will spar with Pacquiao, whose sparring partners Roach has promised to pay money to if they can knock the champion off of his feet. Chavez spoke to FanHouse about that opportunity.
