BoxingScene.com has learned that an HBO televised triple-header is being explored for a tentative date of October 2. The card would feature three world champions, with WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto, WBO junior middleweight champion Sergei Dzinziruk and WBA super flyweight champion Celestin Caballero sharing a triple-bill
As previously reported, one opponent in mind for Dzinziruk is former champion Luis Collazo. Regarding Berto, there are two scenarios being kicked around. The first scenario is a possible defense against Andriy Kotelnik, who last Saturday gave Devon Alexander all he could handle. The other would have Berto move up to 154 to challenge the new IBF champion, Cornelius Bundrage.
Caballero is always tricky in terms of securing an opponent, but fighters like Jason Litzau, Jorge Solis and Matt Remillard are possibilities floating around.
Nothing has been approved by HBO, including the idea of a triple header or the target date, but the network is willing to listen if the right fights are put together.
