IBF junior welterweight champion Zab Judah advised BoxingScene.com that he is ready to face Juan Manuel Marquez in July. During a recent interview, Marquez discussed his desire to return to action in the month of July at 140-pounds. Marquez wants an interim-fight before facing Manny Pacquiao in a possible fall trilogy.
There is a big issue already. Marquez wants his next fight to take place in Mexico, and Judah is not willing to cross the border.
"No, we are not going to do that [fight Marquez in Mexico], no way. They will never let us win over there.....never. We can do it here, in Las Vegas, or we can do it in New Jersey," Judah said to BoxingScene.com.
