Former three-division champion Marco Antonio Barrera (63-6, 42KOs) is putting his team together for his return to the ring on November 7 in China. According to ESTO, trainer Tony Rivera will be in Barrera corner, and Marco's brother, Jorge Barrera. Rivera worked Barrera's corner in the past as a cutman and was also very vocal member of his team, often sparring verbally with rival camps in the media and during press conferences.
It's still not clear who Barrea will fight in November. It was believed that he would fight for the vacant WBC interim-lightweight title, but the WBC ruled that Antonio Pitalua would have to face Edwin Valero by the end of the year for that very title. The other option, which is still open and very likely, would be against WBA "regular" lightweight champ Yusuke Kobori.
