Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs) has jetted off to the UK with trainer Nacho Beristain. The two of them co-train Daniel Estrada, who this coming Saturday night in London will face Kevin Mitchell in a WBC eliminator.
There is some talk that Marquez will have a face to face meeting to discuss a possible fight with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (33-0, 22KOs). Brook makes a mandatory defense of his title on March 28th against Jo Jo Dan. If successful, Brook wants to make a big defense in June. Both Mitchell and Estrada are promoted by Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport.
"With the experience that I have, I know that something strange is being plotted with some people. There is a meeting there. I suspect that it's regarding a world championship fight," revealed Nacho.
"I'd like [a fight with Brook] because Juan has many possibilities with him. I think that if he were to win the title and confirm himself to be five-division champion - that would be fantastic. He has four world titles and a fifth would be ideal for him to retire."
