Audley Harrison returns to Britain on Saturday 19th July at the Aston Villa Events Centre in Birmingham as he focuses on his last chance at winning a world title.
The 2000 Olympic Champion takes on Belfast puncher Martin Rogan - who shot to stardom following his win in the Prizefighter tournament - in a ten-round heavyweight contest.
Harrison's last fight was against Jason Barnett in Las Vegas on the Joe Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins undercard when he blasted out Jason Barnett in five rounds.
Now under promoter Frank Warren, Harrison is under no illusions of what he has to do.
" This is it for me. I'm in a position where I have to beat Rogan and everybody else put in front of me from now on," Said Harrison.
" I've got another chance with Frank to achieve the dream of winning the world title and it starts against Rogan on July 19,"
" Rogan looks like a tough guy with plenty of heart and he wants to have a 'W' next to my name on his career record, but he's going up against a guy with everything to lose so that will make me a very very dangerous man on the night,"
" I said from the beginning that I am going to win a world title. I've had my ups and downs on the way but I'm still here fighting away and I know that a loss at this stage is fatal but I'm re-focussed and know in my heart that I will win a world title."
All-action, 6ft 3in and 16 1/2 stone, Rogan is unbeaten in ten fights and has stopped five early.
He says he will finally end the career of Harrison.
" I'm delighted to get a fight against a big name like Audley Harrison," said Rogan, know as the Entertainer.
" He probably wouldn't know me if he passed me on the street, but he's going to know all about me when I land a big right hander on that porcelain chin of his,"
" Harrison wants me because he thinks I will be an easy touch, but this is his last chance and will be finished if he losses,"
" He will have to come and fight me because I don't do tip-tap, fancy, boxing. I'm a big guy and so is he so let's just stand toe-to-toe, slug it out, and see who has the best heart and chin,"
" It is very fitting that we are coming up to the second Olympic Games since Harrison won Gold in Sydney and on that anniversary he will have his career ended by Martin Rogan."
Chief support on the card features Birmingham middleweight star Matthew Macklin, the former Irish Champion and British title challenger, who is back with Frank Warren and looking ahead to big title ambitions.
On the undercard, unbeaten prospects Kenny Anderson and Denton Vassell continue their progress; plus undefeated Birmingham stars Don Broadhurst, the 2006 Commonwealth Games Champion and Thomas Costello plus Driffield light-middleweight Curtis Woodhouse.
Unbeaten Nadeem Siddique is ready to shake up the British lightweight division.
The Bradford boxer meets Canadian Julius Odion in a clash of two unbeatens as chief support on the Hennessy Sports show in association with GoldenPalace.net at the SkyDome Coventry. Top of the bill is Wayne Elcock’s British Middleweight Title defence Darren McDermott which will be televised live by Sky Sports.
Siddique, who trains at the same Sheffield gym as former WBC light-welterweight champion Junior Witter, has compiled a record of 22 wins and stopped his last two opponents.
Sid halted Ghana's Alex Brew in just two rounds at the Nottingham Arena on May 10 – ideal preparation for his 10 round international contest with Odion (11-0-2).
Sid claims victory over Odion will further improve his reputation as one of Britain's top lightweight contenders.
"When you are boxing kids who are coming to win you have got a better chance of stopping them and that’s what has happened to me," said Sid.
"It's also a result of all the hard work and dedication I’ve been putting in during training. I'm taking it a lot more serious now, and am a full-time professional.
"I'm with the Ingles and they have a system of producing world champions so hopefully my time is coming soon. I know I'm one of the best in the country right now.
"I can make lightweight and that's where I want to be contesting titles, but I’m not interested in anyone else at the moment but myself.
"Julius is slick and a southpaw, but I'm confident my speed and power will be enough to beat him. If I take away his unbeaten record it will continue to improve my reputation.
"I sold 400 tickets for my last fight and more people are beginning to realise what I'm capable of. People had better start to spell my name right because I'm going to be making a name for myself in the next year. It's only a matter of time before I prove myself."
