By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Robert Garcia may have let the cat out of the bag today in Tweeting a message saying that his fighter Brandon Rios (33-2-1, 24 KOs) will be fighting for a world title against WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (32-1-1, 12 KOs) on November 7th at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. However, the official word hasn’t come from Top Rank, the promoters for the two fighters, so boxing fans will need to wait for an announcement.
Top Rank was trying to put together a fight between Rios and WBO welterweight champion Kell Brook, but the negotiations went nowhere.
