There are reports that ex-lightweight world champion Jose Luis Castillo could face former WBA Light Welter titlist Vivian Harris at 140 lb on the Ricky Hatton - Juan Urango undercard in Atlanta next January. Should both Castillo and Hatton get through these contests, an epic bout between the two forward moving brawlers could be in the works.
For Castillo's part, the hard as nails Mexican will have to not only prove that he can make 140 lb effectively but also get past Harris, who in his last bout gunned down one of Castillo's past rivals, Stevie Johnston.
Stay tuned for more on this exciting situation.
