BY CEDELF TUPAS

Gerry Peñalosa's mandatory defense of his World Boxing Organization bantamweight title on March 2 is in limbo, following reports that TV network ABS-CBN and Golden Boy Promotions failed to finalize the deal for the fight, a report posted on fightnews.com said yesterday.

Peñalosa, who hails from San Carlos City , Negros Occidental, has been penciled to fight Thailand 's Ratanachai Sor Vorapin, whom he knocked out six years ago, at the Araneta Coliseum.

A report on philboxing.com said the plan to stage the fight hasn't been totally abandoned, although ABS-CBN and Golden Boy Promotions are looking at a possible April date provided the budget could be reduced.
