Strength and conditioning coach Angel "Memo" Heredia (56-7-1, 40KOs) has advised BoxingScene.com that four-division champion Juan Manuel Marquez will likely return to the ring at the end of the year and is also planning a second fight for the Spring of 2016 as well.

Marquez has been inactive for most of 2015.  He last fought in May of 2014 when he defeated Mike Alvarado via unanimous decision at The Forum in Southern California.

"It looks like Marquez will return in December likely in Mexico and then fight in May in the United States," Heredia told BoxingScene.com.

Marquez has been targeted by quite a number of fighters. Manny Pacquiao still wants a fifth fight, Brandon Rios has been gunning for him, and IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is hoping to lure the Mexican veteran to the UK.

The fighter's longtime trainer, Nacho Beristain, would like to see him retire by winning a fifth divisional title and he likes a fight against Brook or even Tim Bradley, who decisioned Marquez in 2013 and recently captured the WBO welterweight crown.
