Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez will reportedly defend his World Boxing Council flyweight title against former world champion Giovani Segura.

BoxingScene, citing unnamed sources, reported that Gonzalez and Segura will likely collide on March 5 in the United States. The two camps are reportedly considering staging the bout at StubHub Center or The Forum in Los Angeles.

Gonzalez, who is now considered as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world after Floyd Mayweather called it quits, is coming off a successful title defense against Brian Viloria, who was stopped in the ninth round of their title fight in October last year.

On the other hand, Segura, who holds a 32-4-1 record with 28 knockout victories, has not fought since absorbing an 11th-round knockout loss to reigning World Boxing Association and World Boxing Organization flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada in September.

The 33-year-old Mexican was supposed to face WBA super flyweight champion Luis Concepcion in December, but the fight was called off after Segura reportedly got an offer to face Gonzalez. BoxingScene clarified, though, that the two parties have not signed any fight contract.

Gonzalez, who owns a perfect 44-0 record with 38 of his victories coming by knockout, said late last month that he is considering several options, including a rematch with Estrada with all their titles on the line. Estrada took a unanimous decision loss to Chocolatito in November 2012.

"There is talk of a rematch with Gallo Estrada, there are many plans and possibilities ahead," Gonzalez told George Ebro via BoxingScene.

Aside from the title unification bout against Estrada, Gonzalez revealed that he could also move up to the 115-pound division, as he aching to win world titles in four different divisions.

"With the motivation of taking care of my family, I have worked hard every single day in boxing. Right now I want to seize the opportunity of a fourth world title," he said. "I do not take anything for granted. I want that fourth crown."

Gonzalez, who also defeated Valentin Leon and Edgar Sosa last year, added that he is working harder, especially now that he was able to get a lot of attention after making his HBO debut last year.

"What I do is keep training like a horse in the gym," Gonzalez said. "There are many good fighters and the world has taken notice. But there is still a lot to do. I myself, now with HBO, everyone knows me. Before that I fought a lot in Mexico and Japan, but it is true that people are talking a lot more about the lower weight divisions."
