Freddie Roach: GSP Is Starting Training Camp ‘Pretty Soon’
It’s been nearly three years since we’ve seen Geroges St-Pierre compete inside the Octagon, and according to his boxing coach Freddie Roach, it may not be long before we see the former welterweight king compete in the UFC again.
In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Roach revealed that ‘GSP’ is just about ready to undergo training camp:
“Georges came by the gym but we haven’t made any decisions yet,” Roach said. “But he’s going to start training camp pretty soon to see how he feels and if his heart feels like he could do it again, he’ll possibly do it again.”
In regards to a potential return, however, no decision has been made by ‘GSP’ for his rumored and highly-anticipated UFC return:
“But as far as we go right now, I did work out with him and so forth, but no comebacks yet. No decision has been made. I think when he feels it’s the right time, then we’ll make a decision.”
The legendary boxing coach also mentioned a promise he made to ‘GSP’ if the Canadian does decide to make one last Octagon appearance:
“I had to make one promise: I will be in his corner if he does fight again.”
While no official confirmation has been made from ‘GSP’ or his camp, the Canadian star’s return has been a hot topic for the past few months now. Do you think we’ll ever see ‘GSP’ back inside the Octagon?
