Mexican middleweight Jaime Munguia (37-0, 30 KOs) said he is ready to make a elimination bout with Sergei Derevyanchenko (13-3, 10 KOs) at the request of World Boxing Council (WBC).

"This is a great honor for me. As a kid, I dreamed of this green and gold belt. If I get a chance at the elimination, I will take it," Munguia said.

WBC gave Maungia and Derevyanchenko's teams time to negotiate until September 17. If both parties are interested in the fight, but can't come to the agreement, organizer of the fight will be defined on promoter's bids. The current WBC middleweight champion is Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs).
