A circulating photo of former two division world champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) has raised concern with many of his loyal fans. The photo has now appeared on several Argentinean news outlets, such as TYC Sports, and fans were surprised with Maidana's declining physical condition.
Former two division world champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) has denied overseas reports that claimed the boxer had practically announced his retirement from the ring. Maidana has been out of the ring since last September, when he lost a twelve round decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The last we saw of Macos Maidana was last September where he lost for the second time against Floyd Mayweather in 2014. And if you've seen recent pictures of 'El Chino' - it seems as though boxing is the last thing on his mind. His trainer, Robert Garcia, doesn't believe he'll be seeing him anytime soon - if ever - in a boxing ring again.
Former world champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) is not even thinking about boxing at this moment and has no idea if he will ever fight again. Maidana has been out of the ring since September 2014. The 32-year-old boxer made a lot of money with back to back pay-per-view fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year. He lost twelve round decisions in both contests.
As previously reported, Marcos Maidana may enter the junior middleweight division upon his return in 2016. Maidana, who captured world titles at junior welterweight and welterweight, is considering the idea of moving up in weight to pursue history. In winning a world title at 154-pounds, Maidana would become the first boxer in the history of Argentina to capture major belts in three weight divisions.
According to multiple outlets in Argentina, there is a good possibility that Marcos "El Chino" Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) will return in 2016 at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds. Maidana has been out of the ring since facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a rematch last September in Las Vegas. He made a lot of money last year, in facing Mayweather twice on Showtime Pay-Per-View.
The return of former champion Marcos 'Chino' Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) is looking very unlikely this year. Maidana has been out of the ring for over a year. Last September he lost a twelve round decision in his rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Maidana has been relaxing and spending time with his family in Argentina. There was some discussion of Maidana coming back before the end of the year, but the fighter has gained a lot of weight during his inactivity and it will require several months of tough training to burn it off. Not that September is coming to an end, scheduling a fight before the end of year looks unlikely.
Former two division world champion Marcos 'El Chino' Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) has yet to begin training for a possible ring return in the fall. Maidana has been out of the ring since losing back to back fights to WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2014. He made a lot of money from those pay-per-view encounters and decided to take some time off to spend with his family. But now his inactivity is approaching the one year mark.
