    According to the Ring magazine. This could happen in the summer, with one possibility for fight to be on the Keith Thurman undercard.

    Don't see it happening because Gary Russell Jr does not fight live opponents lol

    They both want it. The biggest hurdle to this fight is Master Al Haymon. I don’t see him working with Golden Boy Promotions.

    Would you give him credit if he were to beat Diaz?

    Yes because his just beat a top prospect but not as much credit as if he beat one of the other champions because at the moment Diaz is still only that a prospect

    I see that since 2015 he fights about 13 months apart. So he is due a fight mid to late June.
    Would be great if it is Diaz, who would be his first unbeaten opponent.

    Boxrec is fun with facts like this.
    But it's sad I have to boxrec Gary Jr nowadays as he started out as one of my favorite boxers. Haven't seen much of him last couple of years

    GRJ needs to get back to fighting. People can blame Haymon, but if these guys wanted the big fights they'd be out looking for them.
