According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, former two division champion Zab Judah (37-6, 25KOs) will make his return to the ring on November 6 against Ramon Montano in a 10-round junior welterweight bout at the Palms in Las Vegas.
Judah tells the paper that his hunger to fight again is back. There were several fights in the bag that Zab blew off, including potential bouts with Matthew Hatton and Antonio Diaz on the Mayweather-Marquez undercard on September 19. Judah has not fought since a decision win over Ernest Johnson from November 2008.
"I got the hunger back. I was frustrated with the politics of boxing, and I felt like I needed some time off. There were a lot of things going on, and it wasn't the right time [to return in September]. I feel good. I love being in Vegas. The people who come to the Palms will see Zab Judah at his best," Judah said.
"I'm 31. I've got plenty of fights left in me. Look at Bernard Hopkins. He's what, 44? And he's still going strong. I'm not done yet. You'll see."
