IBF Lightweight champion Richard Commey has been cleared to train after suffering an a hand injury in his title winning effort on February 2nd against Isa Chaniev, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com

“Boom! Just had the all clear from the doctor here in New York,” Commey wrote on social media.

“He’s able to start using his hand again. The doctor told him he can start training when he wants, basically,” Commey promoter Lou DiBella said. “He would like to fight as soon as he can.”

“Richard is not looking for a free-pass fight, but he would like to defend his title first in June or July against somebody who is not Loma,” DiBella said. “The idea is to have him get a defense in the early summer and then fight Loma later in the year.”
