Article by Kailem Lowe Swansea cruiserweight Josh Kaighin is set to make his much-anticipated return to the ring on a huge domestic card next month.  The unbeaten 29-year-old has been out of action since July of 2023 when he extended his professional record to 3-0 with an opening round stoppage win over Poland's Marcin Prostko at the Selwyn Samuel Centre in Llanelli.  Kaighin will now be looking to make up for lost time following a long period of inactivity and will finally make his long-awaited comeback in just a few weeks.  As revealed last month, the Swansea-native will lock horns with Babatunde Duyile in a six round cruiserweight bout at the Brentwood Centre in Essex on Sunday July 12.  Duyile made his professional debut just last month when he stopped London's Ross McGuigan in the 3rd round of their clash at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.  The stacked card is headlined by an intriguing match-up between Megan Redstall and Maisey Rose Courtney who will conte...

A rematch between the pair was called for by fans almost immediately and was later supported by the British Boxing Board of Control who ordered Edwards and Powar to do battle once again.  In a recent interview with Boxing Now , Edwards revealed that he is expected to be back in action by the end of August as he claims negotiations for his rematch with Powar are in the final stages.   "I'm waiting to find out on...
