Agbeko’s last fight was an unimpressive win over Colombian Luiz Melendez in Accra but has struggled to land a fight on the big stage since.His last televised bout in the United States was a loss to Abner Mares and his camp is hopeful of landing a fight against the premier fighter in the division even though they would not comment on record.
In April, Guillermo Rigondeaux outpointed Nonito Donaire to unify junior featherweight world titles. Although it wasn’t a crowd-pleasing performance, Rigondeaux’s talent is undeniable but his defensive style has meant HBO have been unwilling to stage fights with him.
Promoter Bob Arum is however hopeful that an opponent will be named by the end of the week.
We’re working on a good fight,” Arum said, declining to name the prospective opponent. However, Arum did say it would not be Chris Avalos, a name floated recently as a possible Rigondeaux opponent but understandably declined by HBO.
