Riding a 16 fight winning streak, WBC Cabofe Heavyweight champion, Manuel “El Toro” Quezada, is eyeing challenges with heavyweight contenders Brian Minto, 33-2 (21), and Travis Walker, 30-2-1 (24).
Quezada, who’s ranked # 15 by the WBC, feels a win against Minto or Walker will get him closer to title contention.
“A fight with a durable guy like Brian Minto is exactly what I want right now,” he said. “It’s my understanding that he’s mentioned my name as someone he would like to fight, too.
“As far as Travis Walker, he’s a highly ranked contender that doesn’t duck anyone. I’m sure he’ll be willing to step in the ring with me, but we’ll see. He might be gun shy after getting knocked out by Chris Arreola.
“We have a date open on July 16th at the Tachi Palace Casino. If any one of these fight gets finalized, I’ll be happy to give Minto or Walker a shot at my title.”
Quezada has made it clear that he is willing to get in the ring with any of the top ranked heavyweights and will travel to their own backyard to make it happen.
