Retired legend ends light-middleweight talk
Three-weight world champion ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley has
exclusively told WBN that he may make a comeback to boxing in the future,
although it won’t be at 154lbs where the American recently ended his career.
The 41 year-old has been the subject of
speculation in Poland about a contest with undefeated light-middleweight Damian
Jonak, but this is not something that would interest Mosley if he was to fight again
soon.
“I don’t know who Jonak is,” Mosley told World Boxing News. “How
much are they offering,” he quizzed.
“Anyway, if I do come back to boxing it will be at 147lbs.”
Mosley last fought in May when losing a one-sided decision
to WBC light-middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, after which, the
Pomona fighter announced his intention to step away from boxing.
This latest revelation could mean that ‘Sugar’ Shane is
willing to step back in the ring for another world title shot at welterweight
or maybe even a big-money bout with another returning fighter in Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton.
Whether a comeback happens or not, Mosley has already cemented his
place as one of the fighters of his generation and no-one could begrudge him
one more shot at glory following a glittering career - if that’s what he wanted to do.
