TRINIDAD WILL FIGHT: Felix "Tito" Trinidad will come out of retirement to fight former welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga on Oct. 2. Trinidad, who hasn't fought in two years, is scheduled to appear at a news conference today with promoter Don King to make the fight official.
Trinidad retired one fight after he was stopped by Bernard Hopkins in a middleweight title unification fight in September 2001. He has said for months he planned to return to the ring, but a series of opponents fell through.
VANDALS SENTENCED: Two men who threw white paint on a landmark sculpture commemorating black boxing great Joe Louis were sentenced Friday to 30 days in jail. Brett Cashman, 45, and John T. Price, 27, pleaded guilty last month to malicious destruction of property and were also ordered to pay $1,000 in restitution. Cashman and Price, who are white, were arrested Feb. 23 for throwing paint on the Joe Louis fist, an 8,000-pound sculpture of Louis' arm and fist. They have said they targeted the sculpture because of its violent imagery, not as a racist act.
