Geale Reveals Martinez Talks as injury scuppers unification

The 32 year-old, who himself unified the division before being stripped of the WBA version, was hopeful of being given the chance to gain another belt against Martinez later this year, with initial contact already being made for the potential clash.

"There were some negotiations that were taking place (with Martinez), even before the Murray fight," Geale told Sky News Australia. "He broke his hand again (also hurt his knee) and apparently he's going to be out for a while. That is the guy that we would like to fight and they showed a lot of interest in him fighting me in his next fight after he got through Murray."

Whether Murray would come into the equation now that 'Maravilla' is out of commission is another matter as Geale looks for an opponent following the recent ban handed down to mandatory challenger Sam Soliman.

Geale is pretty good but not good enough to beat Martinez methinks. Murray can and likely would beat him, if he was active enough.
