Interview with Israel Vasquez in Boxing News magazine's Big Feature (9th January, not tomorrows one) states that they have become good friends and Marquez asked him straight out if he could have a 4th fight and Izzy agreed to it as soon as his eye heals.
Ramiro Gonzalez, Public Relations Director at Golden Boy said "Just for the record, he spoke directly with Rafael - they have become such close friends - and Rafael was asking him, 'Israel, can I have a fourth fight?' and Israel said 'Absolutely. Just wait until I heal'.
Israel added: "Obviously I want to face the best in my division and with (co-promotors) Sycuan (his contract expires with them in June), Golden Boy, (and manager) Frank Espinoza, eventually I would like to face all the champions."
I don't have a link because its from the magazine, but I'm sure someone else on this site can verify that.
