Lewkowicz to push IBF to put HIS fighter in final eliminator for Bailey-Jones winner

Argentinean welterweight contender Hector "El Tigre" Saldivia (41-2, 32 KO) has signed a managerial agreement with middleweight champion Sergio Martinez's Maravilla Box and re-signed another long-term promotional agreement with promoter Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing.​

​

The exciting 28-year-old Saldivia, from Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut, Argentina, is a former WBA Fedelatin [url]Welterweight[/url] Champion, currently rated #4 in the IBF and #15 in the WBC.​

​

Saldivia is currently riding an eight-fight winning streak. As part of the Maravilla Box stable, Saldivia will now be trained by the mastermind behind so many of his fighters' success, super trainer Pablo Sarmiento.​

​

"Now that he is with the best manager and trainer in boxing, it will be Hector's time to become champion," said the proud Lewkowicz. "We will be petitioning the IBF to fight an eliminator for the right to face the winner of the Mike Jones and Randall Bailey fight for the vacant title in June."​

this guy is rated one spot higher than brook in the IBF, also the IBF havent given a decision to sanction brook-jones as a final eliminator, meaning IF brook wins he might have to face this guy in a final eliminator. atsch

 

sladiva got knocked out on the may mosley uc,GBP had high hopes for him, but dropped him straight after that loss i think. and bailey jones is for the full title.
