Sefer Seferi returns from his loss to Tyson Fury back in April as he takes on Firat Arslan in Germany.
The 39 year-old was drafted in as a guinea pig for Fury’s big comeback fight as the former heavyweight champion shed a ton of weight.
Seferi, massively out-weighed by Fury, took the offer in good jest but realistically was never in the contest.
In a bid to get a world title shot at cruiserweight back on track, Seferi battles Arslan in a veteran shootout.
Other news saw the confirmation of a press tour for the forthcoming clash between Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner.
The pair will clash in January and make the Las Vegas encounter official next week.
