Former flyweight champion Edgar Sosa has received medical clearance to fight in the co-feature to Erik Morales' clash with Willie Limond on September 11 at Plaza de Toros in Mexico. Two weeks ago Sosa stopped Venezuelan José "Olympic" Varela in four rounds. He injured his left thumb during the victory and there was some doubt as to whether he could appear on the show. A doctor has officially cleared him to start training for the big card. Sosa will likely fight an opponent from Asia.
"All year I have been saying that I wanted to be on a huge card that is part of the [Mexican Independence] bicentennial celebrations. The doctors have told me that it's okay to fight. I was given the green light and I am delighted to know that I will be part of that great celebration for all Mexicans," said Sosa.
"After two fights back [since my loss], I feel very good. I think that gradually I will get to a level where I can fight for the world title."
