Floyd MayweatherLAS VEGAS (AP) - Floyd Mayweather has been cleared by doctors to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 at the MGM Grand.

The flamboyant former pound-for-pound king was scheduled to fight Marquez next month at the MGM Grand, but his return from a brief retirement was postponed after he injured a rib training.

Mayweather told fans in a statement to "hold on to their hats and sombreros when I get back in the ring and show what they have been missing these past 18 months."

Marquez, wildly popular in his native Mexico, will be fighting on the weekend after Mexican Independence Day.
