Britsh bantamweight Prince Patel is back in action once against this weekend, just weeks after returning to form in August.
The 26-year-old, who is 23-1-1 as a pro, lost out to Michell Banquez in an IBO world title fight on the Amir Khan v Billy Dib card over the summer.
Prince Patel staying active
Fast forward 43 days, Patel made his comeback in Egypt on August 24, defeating Iddi Kayumba via fifth-round KO. The fight took place at the ACE Club in Victory Square, Cairo.
Now, refreshed once again less than a month later, Patel dons his gloves again to face 60-fight veteran Luis Melendez.
The 39-year-old Colombian last fought in April 2018 when losing to current WBC champion Nordine Oubaali in France.
Melendez needs a win to avoid calls for his retirement, whilst Patel is looking for another scalp on his way to another world title shot.
Patel v Melendez happens at the Sporthalle in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany as a headliner in its own right.
Heavyweights Jens Tietze (13-1) and David Wilken (11-1) feature on the card in separate eight-round contests.
