Mexico is hosting the WBC Congress, during which a duel between two legends was announced - Floyd Mayweather Jr. against Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.... This meeting is to take place next year in Mexico or Texas.
“If Mayweather confirms his statement, then of course I will stick to mine. Let's do that. Floyd told me that he was not his uncle (Roger Mayweather, Floyd's uncle, who lost twice to Chavez and died last March - ed.). But I told him I would kick his ass anyway. Despite my age, I am still loved and appreciated. Mayweather wants us to have a show fight. Let's see what comes out of this, maybe we will organize a meeting in four rounds, "said 59-year-old Chavez Sr. Mexico history.
Chavez Sr. defeated Hector Camacho Jr. in June this year in an exhibition duel as part of the evening in Guadalajara, during which the son of the legend Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. lost to Anderson Silva.
