Santa Cruz wants to be busy in 2019 by fighting three times after fighting just once in 2018. “I want to unify the belts against anybody, the champions Oscar Valdez, Gary Russell, Josh Warrington, even a third fight against (former titlist) Carl Frampton,” Santa Cruz said. However, Santa Cruz has to be forewarned, that Russell Jr. is someone that could very well beat him, and do it in style. If Santa Cruz wants to prove himself to the boxing public as one of the best at 126, then he’ll go after Russell Jr., Valdez or Warrington. Being at 130 has it’s advantages for Santa Cruz, as he would be within striking distance of the lightweight division.
