Boxing
LOS ANGELES, MARCH 22. Julio Cesar Chavez is the latest athlete to be drawn out of retirement by the lure of one more pay check. Nearly a year after defeating Frankie Randall in what Chavez said was his final fight, the 42-year-old boxer has another one lined up. Chavez will take on Ivan Robinson in a 10-round super lightweight fight on May 28 at Staples Center that is being billed as the Mexican's ``Adios'' to Los Angeles. ``I can barely walk,'' Chavez said jokingly during Monday's outdoor announcement at Staples, a few miles from Olympic Auditorium, the site of his first WBC super lightweight world championship in 1984. ``A lot of people will think why am I going to fight again?'' Chavez said through an interpreter. ``It's unbelievable the way people have been sending me mail and calling. They really want me to say goodbye in the ring. The people from L.A. deserve this.'' AP
