World Boxing Council featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez (57-8, 48KOs) revealed that April 18th has been mentioned to him as a possible date for an upcoming defense against Gary Russell Jr. (25-1, 14KOs). The champion stated on Friday that a fight with Russell is nearly 90% done. He also said late March is possible as well, with March 27 and March 28 being kicked around.
If the fight is finalized for April 18th, it would certainly become the co-feature to the light heavyweight contest between the returning Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Polish contender Andrzej Fonfara.
"He is the confirmed opponent, it will be him. We only have to define the date and place," Gonzalez said.
Russell suffered his first career defeat last June at the hands of two-time Olympic gold medal winner Vasyl Lomachenko. He returned with a win in December, gaining a unanimous decision over Christopher Martin.
Gonzalez has been promised a three fight spread from Russell's manager Al Haymon, with fights to come against Haymon-managed Abner Mares and Leo Santa Cruz if the champion beats Russell.
