Michael Katsidis' trainer & manger Brendan Smith, says the proposed fight between the Australian and WBO/WBA/WBC unified lightweight champion Juan Diaz is slated to headline an HBO televised card on January 26. Diaz will receive 80% of the purse split and Golden Boy will promote after winning the purse bid.

B O X I N G S C E N E are reporting it. I've rewritten it so the fuckers don't complain.

This will be a great fight, but there is no match at Lightweight for my boy Diaz. He is superb.
