Mexican willing to face old rival
Former two-time world title challenger Alfonso Gomez has responded
favourably to a rematch with former Contender foe Ahmed Kaddour after WBN
brought up a potential return with both fighters.
In a recent interview with WBN, Denmark-based Kaddour, who’s
only two career defeats came against Gomez and Ishe Smith in the first series
on the popular show, stated: “I would love to fight either one of them.
“We both should get paid
well for a fight like that. I am definitely willing to come to Vegas then we
can make deal and sign the contract for the fight.”
After Smith turned down Kaddour’s initial advances, Gomez is
ready to step up and take the fight, which would certainly generate interest
with fans of the show who witnessed the sizzling rivalry between the two
fighters.
“Any fight is possible if the reasons are right and I'd beat
him worse this time,” Gomez told World Boxing News on giving Kaddour a chance to avenge his loss.
Fighters from the original line-up include former world
champions Sergio Mora and Peter Manfredo, whilst Jesse Brinkley and Miguel Espino also fought for world titles when they lost out to Lucian Bute and Kelly Pavlik.
