Former super bantamweight champion Israel Vazquez, 31, has recently taken his medical exams to renew his boxing license California State Athletic Commission, hoping to reappear in September or October. Vazquez has been recovering from surgery to correct a detached retina in his right eye.
"We are doing the regulatory reviews required by the commission and now I only need to wait for an answer. I think I will be back by September or maybe October," Vazquez told The Record.
After he gets cleared by the CSAC, Vazquez will hit the gym to get himself back in shape and work out the rust in his body.
"I want to go to the gym and give myself some time to see how I feel. I need to lose weight and shake off all the cobwebs that were caused by the downtime, but the key element is the response from the commission. I can assure you that I am medically fit for physical activity," Vazquez said.
