Miguel Cotto signs multi-fight deal with Golden Boy

By Daily Sports on June 1, 2017

Miguel Cotto surprised a lot of boxing fans on Wednesday in inking a multi-fight deal with Golden Boy Promotions on Wednesday that will keep the 36-year old fighter in action beyond his next fight against Yoshihiro Kamegai (27-3-2, 24 KOs) on August 26.

It was thought that the 36-year-old Cotto would be retiring from boxing at the end of the year after a possible rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez, but new contract with Golden Boy changes that.

Unless Cotto opts to pull out of the contract before it’s completed, he will be fighting at least through the first half of 2018.

Cotto will be facing a big puncher in the Japanese knockout artist. The inactivity for Cotto isn’t going to help him in this fight.

The deal with Cotto could be a real positive with Golden Boy if the rematch between Cotto and Canelo brings in a lot of PPV buys.

Besides the Cotto-Canelo fight, there’s also talk of Cotto facing former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux in early 2018.

Golden Boy co-promotes Lemieux. Having him fight Cotto on HBO PPV would be a fairly significant fight, especially if Cotto beats Canelo in December.

Cotto gave Canelo a lot of problems in their fight in November of 2015 on HBO PPV.

Canelo won the fight by a 12 round unanimous decision
