Zab Judah is off to Memphis to begin full-blast training for his upcoming 'X-Plosive' mega fight against Miguel Cotto.
"Zab will train at our Prize Fight gym in Memphis. His father (chief trainer) Yoel is coming in, as are sparring partners," said Brian Young, president of Prize Fight Promotions which handles Judah.
Judah has worked out the last two days at Gleason's in New York City. He plans to take a flight from New York to Memphis this weekend and will gear up and get into the Prize Fight Gym at 1 pm on Monday.
Young added that his company and Team Judah have had an "unprecedented number of ticket requests" for the mega fight.
"Zab will have plenty of fans rooting for him at Madison Square Garden," he said.
'X-Plosive,' featuring Miguel Cotto vs. Zab Judah, is scheduled for June 9 at Madison Square Garden. Thousands of tickets have been sold. Cotto vs. Judah will be available on HBO Pay-Per-View.
