IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green (29-3, 26KOs) will defend his title against countryman Paul Briggs (26-3, 18KOs) on July 21 in Sydney. Briggs is coming out of a three year retirement to take the fight with Green. The fight was rumored to be in negotiations last month.
Briggs fought Tomasz Adamek in two memorable wars a few years ago at light heavyweight. He lost both fights with close majority decisions coming down both times. Briggs doesn't think he needs a tuneup to beat Green and plans to make it a war in the ring. They sparred several times a few years ago.
"I'm in great shape, my version of out of shape is the average person's super fit," said Briggs at the press conference. Billy Hussein will train Briggs for the fight.
