Three-time world champion Miguel Cotto, Caguas, Puerto Rico works out in New York with trainer Emanuel Steward and fitness coach Phil Landman for his upcoming fight against undefeated WBA World Super Welterweight champion Yuri Foreman,Brooklyn, N.Y.
Cotto will move up in weight to take on Foreman at Yankee Stadium on June 5 on HBO in a fight to be telecast on June 6 in the Philippines by the giant broadcast network ABS-CBN.
It will be Cotto's first fight after he lost the WBA welterweight title to pound-for-pound king and "Fighter of the Decade", now congressman-elect of the Philippines, Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao overcame Cotto beginning in the middle rounds before stopping him in the 12th and final round last November.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has said that should a Pacquiao-Mayweather Jr mega-fight fail to materialize and if Cotto beats Foreman, a rematch between Pacquiao and Cotto is a possibility as Pacquiao may wish to cement his place in the record books with an eighth world title in an eighth weight division.
