Unbeaten 2012 Olympic middleweight bronze medalist Anthony Ogogo (8-0, 4 KOs) will make his long-awaited return to the ring on May 28 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow. Ogogo’s professional career has been stop-start so far due to injury. He will see his first action since July where he moved to 8-0 with a win in Germany over Ruslan Schelev. It was in that fight where he suffered a dislocated shoulder, fighting for the majority of the bout with just one arm. The fight in Germany was at the time also his return from a sustained period on the sidelines following Achilles problems. But the 27-year-old insists his injury woes are behind him and he’s ready to get his career back on track and make a huge impact in the middleweight division.
“It’s been a difficult period for me as I’ve worked hard to recover from the shoulder injury I suffered in my last fight but I am now fully fit and raring to go,” he stated. “I want to keep as busy as I can during 2016 and am determined to make a major impact in the middleweight division – starting on May 28.”
Headlining in Glasgow is Ricky Burns (39-5-1,13 KOs) , who looks to become a three-division world champion against Michele Di Rocco (40-1-1, 18 KOs) for the vacant WBA super lightweight world championship.
