Upcoming Boxing Matches 2014: Timothy Bradley Wants To Face Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez After Fight With Diego Chaves
Timothy Bradley wants to have big fights again in 2015, and the former World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion expressed interest in facing Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Bradley, who lost to Manny Pacquiao in their rematch in April, said in an interview with On The Ropes Boxing Radio that he is open to facing anybody next year, including Cotto, but he admitted that there are things that are out of his control.
"Miguel Cotto and all the other big names, they'll always be there and when they need a dancing partner they can come my way because I'm willing to fight anybody," Bradley said.
The 31-year-old former champion also added that he is willing to collide with Alvarez next year, especially now that Top Rank Promotions, who handles Bradley's fight, and Golden Boy Promotions, who holds promotional rights for Alvarez's fights, are reportedly willing to work with each other.
"It's never up to me, it's always up to them. If it makes sense, let's do it," Bradley said of the Canelo fight. "That's the way I approach it now and I think any of those fights can materialize sooner or later, with Canelo, Cotto and all these big names in boxing. I embrace any top guy out there, bring it on, let's do it."
But before he chases a bout against Cotto and Alvarez, Bradley will have to get past Diego Gabriel Chaves, whom he will face in a 12-round, nontitle fight on Dec. 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While he will be considered as heavy favorite heading into their match, Bradley said that he has no room for complacency, pointing out that Chaves is a better fighter than what most people think of him.
"I think it's a really good match up, honestly," Bradley said of his upcoming fight against Chaves. "Diego Chaves, a lot of people don't really know him, a lot of people got to know him against Rios just a bit and how he's a dirty fighter. They haven't seen that much of him but he's actually a pretty good fighter."
