Viloria’s next fight

October 7, 2009

Sounds like IBF light flyweight champion Brian Viloria will complete a trilogy with nemesis Omar Nino Romero.

Although manager Gary Gittelsohn said yesterday that a deal has not been finalized, all signs point toward Viloria facing Romero Dec. 5 in the Philippines.

Romero’s name should ring a bell with Viloria fans. “Nino” (28-3-1, 11 KOs) handed Viloria (26-2, 15 KOs) the first loss of his career, beating him by unanimous decision to take his WBC belt. The two had a rematch and Romero won a majority decision, but failed a post-fight drug test, causing the result to be overturned to a no contest.

Viloria has already hit the gym beginning his training camp for the fight. Gittelsohn said he hopes to have the fight finalized within the next 24-48 hours…
