As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, former WBO (World Boxing Organization) junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov could potentially return to the ring again with a bout by the end of this year.

Provodnikov's longtime manager, manager Vadim Kornilov, revealed the information to Tass.

"We have a proposal [to resume his boxing career] and this proposal is under consideration for a potential fight at the end of the year," Kornilov stated. "However, we are not ready yet to reveal the details about it."
