WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido (40-12-2, 28KOs) has reached a verbal agreement to defend his title against two-time Olympic gold medal winner Vasyl Lomachenko (1-0, 1KO) on March 1, as the HBO televised co-feature to the rematch between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Bryan Vera.

IBF lightweight champion Miguel Vazquez (33-3, 13KOs) has verbally agreed to defend his title against undefeated contender Denis Shafikov (33-0-1, 18KOs) of Russia on February 22 in Macau, China. Top Rank is planning a big event on that date, which is going to feature several of their highly regarded Olympic prospects.

According to a reliable source in Zanfer Promotions, two of their champions have reached verbal agreements for next title defenses.
