The team behind former world champion Nicholas Walters would prefer that their fighter continues his career at 126 pounds, but the hard-punching Jamaican is open to analyzing the possibility of a fight against Japan's Takashi Uchiyama, who holds the super featherweight championship of the World Boxing Association (WBA).

Walters, a resident in Panama, was last seen on December 19, when he fought to a very controversial draw against Jason Sosa in a ten round super featherweight contest.

The Caribbean fighter is on vacation and hopes to return in the coming days to begin his training in the New Year.

Uchiyama's team have once again expressed their interest in facing Walters on a date in April or May in the United States. The Japanese champion was recently in the ring, fighting on New Year's Eve to pick up an easy knockout of Oliver Flores in three rounds at the Ota-City Gym in Tokyo.

Walters is ready to fight Uchiyama (24-0-1, 20KOs), or anybody else for that matter, if the financial figures make sense.

'I am willing to fight anybody. If there is a good purse and it's with my promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, I fight with anyone," Walters said.

However, manager Jacques Deschamps, who is representing Walters, would like for his pupil to remain in the 126-pound division -where he is ranked at two in the WBA ratings.

Walster was the WBA featherweight champion, but lost his crown he failed to make weight for his match against Colombia's Miguel Marriaga, held last year on 13th of June. Walter still won a dominating decision over Marriaga in a fight which took place in New York.
