It was reported by Mexican newspaper Esto that three divisional world champion Erik “Terrible” Morales is currently training in the Otomi Mountains in central Mexico in preparation for his propsed bout against former WBA lightweight champion Jose Alfaro of Nicaragua. The fight is rumored to take place some time in March and it will be promoted by Morales’ own company, Box Latino which is run by his brother Diego “Pelucho” Morales.
Morales is concentrating on losing weight since he has been reported to be tipping the scales somewhere in the heavyweight division. His next bout is slated to be at a catch weight of 142 lbs.
Morales has not fought since 2007 when he dropped a decision to David Diaz in Chicago for the WBC lightweight title. No city has been named for the return of Morales but is rumored that his native city of Tijuana is in the running.
