Former welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga will return to the ring July 23rd in New York City at Madison Square Garden when he takes on WBC Junior Middleweight title-holder Javier Castillejo it was learned today. Mayorga has not fought since losing an epic brawl with Felix Trinidad last October also at the Garden. He was originally supposed to fight Alejando Garcia May 21st on the Andrew Golota-Lamon Brewster undercard but pulled out for personal reasons. By the time Mayorga gets it on with Castillejo he will have been inactive for 10 months. Castillejo, meanwhile, was thought to have been next in line for the rejuvenated Fernando Vargas though that bout now seems to been axed. An early candidate for the Mayorga-Castillejo undercard could be newly crowned welterweight titlist (and New Yorker) Luis Collazo.
