Future Hall of Famer and junior middleweight world champ Winky Wright sets his return to the ring on December 4 in Seattle to battle Michi Muñoz for a 10-round super middleweight bout.
"It's great to be back and I can't wait to hear the bell ring," said Wright, whose last bout was against fellow future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins on July 21, 2007. "I had a nice break, but I've been training hard and now I feel better than ever."
Wright, who fights out of St. Petersburg, Florida, holds a 51-4-1. He has 25 knockout wins.
A veteran of 18 years, Wright has had battles with the likes of Shane Mosley (twice), Felix Trinidad, Ike Quartey and Bronco McKart.
And at 36, he feels the best is yet to come for him.
Muñoz (21-2, 14 KOs) , meanwhile, is a hard-nosed competitor who is well aware that a victory over Wright will propel him to bigger and better things in 2009. A native of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, Muñoz plans on pushing the pace against Wright and shocking the boxing world on December 4.
