Top Rank advised BoxingScene.com on Thursday morning that a deal is close, but not done yet, for a featherweight unification between WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (18-0, 15KOs) and WBC champion Elio Rojas (22-1, 13KOs). All of the major sticking points have been agreed upon. The contracts have not been signed. Barring any unforeseen issues, the fight probably won't get finalized until after the holiday weekend.

I've also been advised that it's not exactly a set plan to stage the fight on September 11 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The venue has not confirmed availability for the planned September date. The venue situation won't be resolved until next week.

Devon Alexander's trainer, Kevin Cunningham, will prepare and work Rojas' corner for the fight with Gamboa. The original plan had Gamboa facing IBF champion Orlando Salido on July 24. Salido suffered a cut in training and the fight was kicked.

The co-feature will remain with lightweight eliminator between two unbeatens, as Anthony Peterson (30-0, 20KOs) will fight Brandon Rios (24-0, 18KOs).

It'll be interesting to see how Cunningham works with Rojas. I wonder if Don King hooked that up.
