Still only 25, Diaz is on an undefeated tear stretching seven years and 16 fights.<\/p>\n
Apart from being three years younger than Tszyu, he also boasts as many years in extra experience.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the WBC Latino champ sits top 15 in the WBO super welterweight rankings, meaning a win over Tszyu will get him within striking distance of WBO champ Xander Zayas.<\/p>\n
Wonderfully, of course, Diaz also gifts No Limit the promotional dream that is \u2018Butcher\u2019 versus \u2018The Bull\u2019.<\/p>\n
Asked about the Diaz development overnight, representatives for Australia\u2019s No.1 promoter were remaining tight-lipped.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s understood however that an agreement has already been reached between the two camps, with a Main Event pay-per-view slated for some time this month.<\/p>\n
A host city is still to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
