According to World Boxing Organization President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel, former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (47-1-1, 32KOs) could have the opportunity to challenge for the WBO title at 168-pounds in 2014.
The belt is going to be at stake on March 1 in Germany, when champion Robert Stieglitz (46-3, 26KOs) defends the title against Arthur Abraham (38-4, 28KOs) in a trilogy clash.
Chavez will return to action on March 15th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, when he faces Bryan Vera in a rematch.
"Chavez could fight the champion of the division if he wants, but he'll have to wait for outcome of the fight between Abraham and Stieglitz, and they are fighting in March. Chavez would have the option to go for that title now that he is ranked at super middleweight," Valcarcel said.
