Welterweight contender Felix Diaz notched the biggest victory of his career July 16 in Birmingham, Alabama, where he won a 10-round decision against then-unbeaten Sammy Vasquez on Fox in prime time in an exciting fight that he hoped would vault him into a major bout.That did not happen, but Diaz has no intention of sitting around and waiting for an offer to just show up, so he will be back in action in a 10-round bout Dec. 10 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana in his native Dominican Republic, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN on Monday night. Diazs opponent is not yet set.Felix Diaz wants a big fight and he wants to stay on peoples radar, and you cant do that if you dont fight, DiBella said. He wants to fight [unified junior welterweight world champion] Terence Crawford, but he has to stay active and keep making a name for himself to get those kinds of fights. The win against Sammy Vasquez was a start. I look forward to seeing him back in the ring.Diaz, a 32-year-old southpaw who won an Olympic gold medal for the Dominican Republic in 2008, can fight at either welterweight or junior welterweight. The only reason he fought his previous two bouts at welterweight, DiBella said, is because he was unable to get a meaningful fight at junior welterweight.Last October, Diaz lost a controversial majority decision in a welterweight bout to former junior welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside Petersons hometown of Washington, D.C. Then Diaz got the big win against Vasquez.We want to get him back in the ring this year, no matter what kind of fight it is, DiBella said. There isnt a big fight for him right now, but Felix Diaz is unlike a lot of fighters. He is willing to fight for the money that is there for the level of fight this will be. But he is extremely popular in the Dominican Republic, so he is going to fight on the island in sort of a homecoming fight.Diaz (18-1, 8 KOs) has not boxed in his home country since 2013.Well publicize the fight as much as we can and keep the pressure on everybody and try to force the issue that Felix Diaz deserves a big fight, DiBella said. Hes an Olympic gold medalist, extremely talented; he was crowd-pleasing against Sammy Vasquez, and the only loss of his career is a loss you can easily argue wasnt really a loss to Lamont Peterson. Felix Diaz is a beast in the ring, but he has to earn his shot and thats what he is doing. Credit to him. Hes going to stay active and force his way into a big fight.
