Denis Bakhtov Training Hard For His Comeback

By Ruslan Chikov and Vladimir Begun Jr. (Allboxing.ru)

Heavyweight Denis Bakhtov (33-5, 22KOs), inactive since the knockout of Steffen Kretschmann a year ago, is training hard for his comeback at a gym in St. Petersburg. He was scheduled at one point to face Alexander Dimitrenko last July, but suffered a serious foot injury that kept him away from the ring for several months.

"I don't know the exact date yet, but I'm really looking forward to my next fight. I want to get back into the ring. I hope that very soon I get to put on a pleasing performance," Bakhtov said. "There was period of time a few months ago where I couldn't fully train, but now I'm getting into shape."
