Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced that he will return to boxing after less than a year of retirement. He will step back into the ring in a July 18 pay-per-view fight against Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

An added bonus to the event is that Zab Judah will be on the undercard of the fight. Judah will be going up against Randal Bailey for the IBF Junior Welter Weight Championship of the World. Plans for the Judah fight were made public during a press conference to announce the Mayweather vs. Marquez fight by Leonard Ellerbe.

Judah was supposed to headline a May 1 card at the South Point Hotel & Casino, also in Vegas. Following an injury sustained during training, he was forced to pull out.
