3. Vacant Title Fight against Viktor Postol
As mentioned in Adrien Broner’s first possible option, Viktor Postol took “step-aside” money from advisor Al Haymon in late 2014, allowing lineal champion Danny Garcia to take an optional fight against Lamont Peterson, as long as following that fight, Garcia immediately gives Postol a title shot.
Haymon, being the incredibly smart businessman he is, set this fight up for Broner before it was even a thought in anyone’s mind.
If Garcia vacates his titles to move up to Welterweight, which it looks like he will do, that automatically puts Postol in position to fight for the WBC belt.
Since WBC No. 3 ranked Thomas Dulorme is already scheduled for a WBO title fight against the very tough Terence Crawford, and WBC No. 2 ranked Lucas Matthysse, who is also ranked No. 3 by the WBO, will be more interested in a more lucrative fight with the winner of Crawford-Dulorme.
That puts WBC No. 4 ranked Adrien Broner in a comfortable position to land the vacant title fight against Postol, who’s arguably the least talented fighter of the group. It’s undoubtedly not only Broner’s most realistic shot at a title in 2015, but provides him the best chance of winning his fourth world title in as many divisions.
