WBO junior lightweight champion is currently training for a October or November title defense against former 122 pound champion and undefeated rising star Miguel “Mikey” Garcia, should Garcia decide to move up in weight and challenge Martinez.

Martinez accompanied his fellow countryman Juan Manuel “JuanMa” Lopez to the ring for his fight against Garcia to scout Garcia for a possible fight.

There is a possibility of the fight between the two taking place on the Miguel Cotto undercard on October 5th in Florida even though Martinez would prefer to fight at home in Puerto Rico. “They told me that the fight might take place in October or November. I asked if it would take place here (in Puerto Rico) and they told me it would be difficult for HBO to do the split feed because they would need a truck to transmit the signal. I am training hard and not even the troical storm Chantal will stop me. As of now nothing is signed but we have discussed the fight,” said Martinez.
