Erik Morales Pushes His Ring Return Back To Sept/Oct
By Mark Vester
Former three division champion Erik Morales had planned to make a ring return in August, making a final run at a fourth world title in his fourth weight division. Morales says there has been a lot of trouble with securing a good opponent to travel for a fight in Tijuana, Mexico. Morales wants to fight a world ranked opponent in his comeback bout and not a stiff.
Morales says that he is forced to push back his fight to the end of September or even October. He was rumored to land on the Mayweather-Marquez undercard but says that he doesn't want to be involved on card involving another top fighter. Morales turns 33 in September.
"I had some problems out there and I'm really looking for a date that is not connecting with another fighter so everyone can decide if I have a shot at fighting for a world title or not," Morales told ESTO.
"I found also some problems with opponents who did not want to come to Tijuana and then things became more complicated, but somehow I will continue with my plan to return to lightweight and get my fourth world title at the end of the year or the start the next."
