Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes Teixeira, and Castano promoter Tom Brown of TGB Promotions cut a deal around 11 p.m. ET Tuesday, thus avoiding a purse bid scheduled for Wednesday morning at a hotel in Miami, where the highest bidder would have taken control of promotional rights to the bout.
"We made a deal late, in the 11th hour. It will be a tough, competitive fight," Gomez told ESPN on Wednesday morning, after having previously termed the odds of a deal between the camps as "no chance."
Gomez said the fight would take place on a Golden Boy card in April or May.
