At Some Point, Goossen Will Fight Camacho

Share

Middleweight P.J. Goossen of North Hollywood, seeking a matchup with Hector “Macho” Camacho will get it . . . sooner or later, Camacho’s promoter said.

Goossen, 28, who won by knockout last week at the Reseda Country Club in his first fight in 14 months, is tentatively scheduled to fight Camacho in a nationally televised program Oct. 23 at a site to be determined. But Mike Acri, Camacho’s promoter, said he might pit Camacho against Ken Sigurani of Youngstown, Ohio., on that date and reschedule Goossen-Camacho for December in Miami.

“One thing’s for sure, if [Goossen] doesn’t fight him in October, he’ll fight him in December,” Acri said. “P.J. is much tougher than Sigurani.”
