Goyat, who is the WBC Asia Pacific welterweight title-holder, beat Sanchez in Canada on Saturday in a bout with no title at stake.

"Glad to be back after a long hiatus. This fight has had to be postponed twice because of logistics and I was not in the best frame of mind. But I am happy that I could win and it has now set me up well," Goyat said.
