Lightweight Felix Verdejo, who suffered injuries when he crashed his motorbike on Aug. 7 in his native Puerto Rico, has resumed training and will return to the ring early next year.Thank God I am 100 percent recovered and well, Verdejo announced Tuesday. [I am] pleased to announce that I will return to the ring on Feb. 3.Verdejo will box an opponent to be determined in the scheduled 10-round main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo card on Spanish-language network UniMas at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.Verdejo, a 2012 Puerto Rican Olympian and the 2014 ESPN.com prospect of the year, spent five days in the hospital after crashing his dirt bike on a San Juan highway when he lost control as he tried to avoid a bump in the road.Verdejo, 23, who was wearing an open-face helmet, suffered cuts, bruises and scratches to his forehead, face, arms and legs, as well as other parts of his body. He has been on the mend and recently was cleared to begin training.Hes been doing conditioning work. He went for a run over the weekend and a pit bull chased him and almost caught him. He needs to find a new place to run, Moretti said with a laugh. But hes been medically cleared to fight. Hes been doing conditioning for a few weeks and hell start sparring in another week or so. Hell train through the holidays.Before the accident, Verdejo (22-0, 15 KOs) was in line for a mandatory 135-pound world title shot in his next bout against Englands Terry Flanagan (32-0, 13 KOs). Top Rank had hoped to make the fight and put it on the Manny Pacquiao-Jessie Vargas pay-per-view card that took place Nov. 5 in Las Vegas.Moretti said Verdejo still has his mandatory position and that in advance of the title fight with Flanagan, a southpaw, Top Rank would match him with a southpaw in preparation for the bout.Flanagan retained the title by eight-round knockout of Orlando Cruz on Nov. 26. Verdejo will box on Feb. 3, after which Flanagan promoter Frank Warren and Top Rank will have 10 days to make a deal or the bout will go to a purse bid. But Moretti said that as long as Verdejo wins Feb. 3 and comes out of the fight healthy, his next fight would be against Flanagan for the title.Moretti said that Verdejo realizes how close he came to not only losing his career, but his life, in the accident.I think hes been humbled by the whole situation, Moretti said. Hes still young and young people make mistakes. But I think he realizes that when youre an athlete and have a promising career, you dont do things like ride motorcycles and jump off cliffs. Overall it was a humbling experience. Forget about losing your career. He almost lost his life and thats what hits home.We think it may be a motivating factor for him. He knows life is short and he has to do everything he can in and out of the ring to achieve his goals.Air Force 1 07 Norge .

The pride of Weyburn, Sask.MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes starts are his main concern before Singapore after losing a shot at victory at the Italian Grand Prix due to a poor getaway off the line.Hamiltons dominant weekend fell apart at lights out, with a slow start from pole position relegating him to seventh at the end of the first lap. Although he eventually battled back to finish second, the poor start cost him what had looked like a good shot at victory.The reigning world champion struggled to explain what went wrong immediately after the race, suggesting it was an inconsistent clutch, but was able to give a more accurate description in his evening media session, which came after his debrief.Im told it wasnt a driver error, but it wasnt anyones error, Hamilton said. Youve seen it with Nico in Hockenheim and its bitten me quite a lot this year. I was told the procedure was just as I was supposed to do it but unfortunately we had an over-delivery of torque and the wheels were just spinning from the get-go.Asked if further improvements need to be made, Hamilton said: Of course, we never stop improving and learning. Today we would have learnt again but this year has been a harder year for us with the clutch. Its not a quick fix, not something we can change for the next race. We have made improvements and have made more consistent starts but we are still caught out by the random variation that we have from one weekend to another.We do practice starts all weekend and they are varying a little bit and then, every now and then, we get a random variation on the grid. Youve seen it with Nico and youve seen it with me, quite a few times, so we will continue to work on it. I assure you that on Tuesday thats all wee will be talking about because everything else we are doing really well.dddddddddddd I will be trying to give as much information to help the last seven races. We are not struggling with pole positions, its just getting off the line.In his own media session, team boss Toto Wolff disagreed that driver error played no part in the start but refused to single out anyone for blame.The reason we changed the rules last year was to give more responsbility to the driver and make it more variable. But its just what happens, you have good starts and bad starts, and I think our system has improved a lot. But obviously today machine and driver got it wrong.What we can see is that it is a procedural thing so I dont want to blame anybody. Neither Lewis, nor the engineers, nor the systems. I think we have to properly address that topic because it cost him a race and I think we all need to stick the heads together to avoid that for him and the team.When it was put to Wolff that surely someone must have been to blame as something went wrong during the procedure, he replied: No, completely wrong. We are never blaming anybody. This team, I would never believe anyone is to blame, not the driver, not the engineer, nobody.When you start to blame this is when it goes downhill because people will try to protect their arse and make sure they have a conservative system in place rather than putting the best development on the car. So nobody is to blame. In this particular case I think its a combination of many things, partly because we changed rules last year and why I dont want to go there. ' ' '
