Denis Boytsov Likely To Return in May, in America

By Ruslan Chikov

Undefeated Russian heavyweight Denis Boytsov is looking to return in the month of May. In December Boytsov (28-0, 23KOs) had further surgery on his right hand. The hand was re-injured during his two round knockout of Mike Sheppard on November 19 in Hamburg, Germany. Boytsov's career is looking a bit brighter. German promotional firm Universum has brought in an American outfit, Golden Boy Promotions, to co-manage the career of Boytsov. He says the May fight will likely take place in the United States, but he still needs to obtain final approval from his doctors.

"The next fight may take place in May. Everything will depend on my physical condition and the verdict from the doctors. The fight will most likely take place in the United States. Universum Box-Promotion, with who I'm with, signed a deal with Golden Boy Promotions, and they are going to be co-promoting some promising boxers, including me," Boytsov said.
