Dec. 4: Miguel Cotto-Julio Cesar Chavez, Fernando Montiel-Nonito Donaire?

Mexican middleweight (160 pounds) prospect Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. will begin training at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif., on Wednesday for a Sept. 11 bout against New Jersey resident Pawel Wolak likely in Mexico, and, if victorious, could face WBA junior middleweight (154 pounds) champion, Miguel Cotto (pictured above left), on Dec. 4, Top Rank Promotions' CEO Bob Arum told FanHouse on Tuesday.

Arum said that the Cotto-Chavez fight would likely land in Atlantic City, New York's Madison Square Garden or the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Arum also said that the Cotto-Chavez undercard could feature WBO bantamweight (118 pounds) titlist Fernando Montiel against rising WBA interim super flyweight (115 pounds) champion Nonito Donaire of the Philippines, each of whom scored big wins last month.

The 24-year-old son of the former multi-world champion by the same name, Chavez (41-0-1, 30 knockouts), of Sinaloa, Mex., is coming off of last month's unanimous decision over New York's John Duddy (29-2, 18 KOs) at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Chavez shares trainer Freddie Roach with seven-division titlist and WBO welterweight (147 pounds) king Manny Pacquiao, WBA junior welterweight (140 pounds) titlist Amir Khan and unbeaten junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan.

"Chavez will be at the Wild Card Boxing Club to start some serious training tomorrow," said Arum. "That fight with Wolak will be in Mexico. I don't know exactly where, but it will be somewhere in Mexico."

Nicknamed "The Raging Bull," the 28-year-old Wolak (27-1, 17 KOs), of Mount Arlington, N.J., is coming off a June 5 unanimous decision over James Moore (17-3, 10 KOs) of New York in a 10-round junior middleweight bout.

Although Wolak has been campaigning at 154 pounds, he told FanHouse that he would have "no problem fighting" if the two were to meet at 160.

"Wolak's got a great record, and he's another good fighter, and another great test for Chavez," said Arum. "This isn't a guy who is just doing it for a pay day. This is a guy who believes that he can knock Chavez off."

The 29-year-old Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs), of Puerto Rico, is coming off of June's ninth-round knockout that dethroned Yuri Foreman (28-1, eight KOs) as WBA champion.

Arum said that he will be meeting with Cotto's business manager, Fernando Beltran, "this week."

"We are going to outline the way that the economics of that fight would go, and the undercard," said Arum. "And then, if Chavez proves worthy on Sept. 11, then we'll go forward with the Cotto fight. If not, then we won't."

Arum said that Cotto-Chavez (pictured at far right), a Puerto Rican against a Mexican, "would be huge."

"Cotto has agreed to the fight, provided that it's not in Mexico," said Arum. "So, it would be probably either in Atlantic City or New York, although I don't know what the Garden's schedule is. Or in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand."

Last month, the 31-year-old Montiel of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mex., scored his 42nd career win against two each in losses and draws, and his 32nd career knockout over Rafael Concepcion, who fell to 14-5-1, with eight knockouts.

Also last month, the 27-year-old Donaire scored two knockdowns on the way to an eighth-round knockout of challenger Hernan "Tyson" Marquez. In defeating Marquez, Donaire notched his 24th victory against one loss, and his 16th knockout.

Nicknamed "The Filipino Flash," Donaire improved his winning streak to 23 fights with knockouts against eight of his last 10 opponents. Having had trouble maintaining the 115-pound weight limit, Donaire had vowed that Marquez would be his final bout in that division.

"If we made that fight with Cotto and Chavez, then I would consider putting Donaire and Montiel against each other on the undercard," said Arum. "It's a great, great bantamweight fight. That's about as good as you can get. And that would make for a great, great show."
