Cuban world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KO's), who holds the super bantamweight championships of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO), appeared on A Los Golpes Radio and continued to call for a unification Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KO's), champion at 122 pounds under the World Boxing Council (WBC).
Speaking live from Miami, Rigondeaux said Santa Cruz's promoter Oscar de la Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions and Boris Arencibia of Caribbean Promotions, who handle the two-time Olympic gold medal winner, were in talks to match the two boxers.
Rigondeaux also disputed Santa Cruz's claim of the fight being possibly boring because the Cuban boxer will run around the ring without engaging.
"We are waiting, we are ready, I've never said no to any fight. I'm waiting for Leo Santa Cruz, or his father, to decide that the fight is done. Just say yes and we will fight, because there is nothing left. You have to fight because you are a champion, but are not the super champion at 122 pounds," Rigondeux said.
"He is charging $750,000 per fight to face dead men. As I told Nonito [Donaire], who also had an inflated opinion. I will give him a gift. I will not run, I will not move, that's what he doesn't know. He thinks I'm going to run. Let him think that, because I'll stop in the middle of the ring and I'll break his head."
