Puerto Rico's Jonathan Oquendo is in talks to challenge World Boxing Organization (WBO) super featherweight world champion Jamel Herring, as part of a card being staged by Top Rank on July 2nd in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Héctor Soto of H2 Entertainment, indicated that they are in the final details of the negotiations.
"At Top Rank, we were told that they are ready to stage events without an audience. They offered us that opportunity for Jonathan and we are working on it,” said Soto to Carlos Gonzalez.
Oquendo (31-6, 19 KO) is ranked eleventh in the WBO rankings at 130 pounds. Last November, he surpassed Charles Huerta by unanimous decision.
Herring, meanwhile, conquered the world title when he defeated Japan's Masayuki Ito in May 2019. In his first defense, he defeated mandatory challenger Lamont Roach Jr. - who holds a decision win over Oquendo from when they collided back in May as part of the Canelo Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs undercard.
“When we presented Jonathan with the opportunity, he immediately said yes. He is training for this opportunity,” said Soto.
Herring had been scheduled to face former two division champion Carl Frampton in a high profile bout, which was targeted for Belfast. Because of the restrictions involved with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, that bout is going to be postponed until a later date.
Beats BJS, loses to Plant and Benevidez, Callum might be too big for him too.Would prime Froch be the best at 168 today?

Plant and BJS would box circles around Froch beak nose ass.
Smith and Coke boy would prolly be slight favorites.
Dude didn't want the Ward rematch nor did he come out of retirement for GGG but kept saying it was easy work. nikka went life and death with Groves. I can't see him beating anybody of note in this 168 era.
I think froch would stop ggg and his career is more impressivePlant and BJS would box circles around Froch beak nose ass.

I can't stand that fukker but he was the second best fighter of a 168 era that was easily better-deeper than this one. Lost only to a one armed Ward... but I think that same Ward would breeze through this 168 as well.Would prime Froch be the best at 168 today?
Froch
way he took out bute was some G shyt. Bute was still fearedActually he lost to Kessler too first, forgot to include that but he beat him on the rematch and I think Kessler would have a good chance too to beat the current 168 crop
