Adames has spent the last several years campaigning at middleweight, where he held the WBC title and built a popularity as one among the division\u2019s hardest pressure fighters. A move to 168 would place him against one among boxing\u2019s hardest punchers immediately.<\/p>\n

Iglesias captured the vacant IBF super middleweight title earlier this yr with a stoppage win over Pavel Silyagin. The Cuban has rapidly emerged as one among the division\u2019s most dangerous punchers and has been repeatedly mentioned as a difficult fight for most of the greater names at 168 kilos.<\/p>\n

Adames, meanwhile, has spent most of his recent profession at middleweight and could be moving directly into title contention at 168 somewhat than taking a slower route through the division.<\/p>\n

Iglesias (15-0, 14 KOs) has stopped most of his recent opponents and is viewed by many fans as one among the riskier fights currently available at 168 kilos.<\/p>\n

A fight between Iglesias and Adames would match two aggressive fighters somewhat than the careful title-fight style often seen within the division. Negotiations are ongoing, and no date or location has been announced.<\/p>\n
