Corrales ready to go to war

DIEGO CORRALES returns to action after a year out of the ring in Las Vegas tomorrow night when he defends his WBC lightweight title in a potentially explosive rubber match against Joel Casamayor.

Corrales, arguably the sport’s most exciting fighter, has been itching to return since a projected third meeting with Jose Luis Castillo was called off when Castillo didn’t make the weight.

It is testament to Corrales’ enduring warrior instinct that he should wish to return against the classy Cuban, who boasts four knockdowns over the champion in their previous meetings.
