Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, during a charity function on Tuesday, denied reports that he decided on a ring return in 2015.

Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs), 41-years-old, has returned to the gym and admits he began training to get his body in order. Marquez has been inactive since a May decision victory over Mike Alvarado.

The Mexican boxer is planning to make a final decision on his career by the end of December. At his age, he wants to evaluate how his body responds to a tough camp. If he experiences problems in camp, he will retire. If He feels good, then he plans to have one or possibly two fights in 2015.

If Marquez decides to continue, he wants to fight for the welterweight title.

"I'm starting to train to see how I feel physically. If we feel good we will make a decision by year's end on whether we'll fight in 2015," Marquez said.

"The physical part is the important point, reflexes, movements, legs, because I don't like the idea of retiring with a loss. I would like to retire [in a bout against] a tough fighter and [winning a] fifth world title. If I feel good [after training for a few months], then I'll tell you and possibly I'll have not one fight but two, but first we have to see how the body responds."
