Former undisputed junior middleweight champion Winky Wright is planning to return to the ring in August. After a two-year layoff, he returned in April and lost a twelve round decision to Paul Williams.
Speaking with BoxingScene.com's Luis Sandoval, Wright said that he wants to get back on track with a fight in August, and then another in November or December. He says the long layoff played a role in being dominated by Williams
"Williams is a tough dude, long, tall and awkward but I can't take nothing away from him. He came and did what he had to do. The ring rust was a big part of it but it is what it is. I'm back though. It ain't over, I'm back. I'm going again in August and after that probably in November of December," Wright said.
Wright plans to stay at middleweight and has no plans to move up or down.
"160-pounds is good. 160 is good. It was just a long time [off]. A little ring rust and it is what it is," Wright said. "I'm ready to just get back into the ring."
