Four-time world title challenger Martin Murray insists there are still plenty of options open to him despite his loss to Arthur Abraham.
The 33-year-old from St Helens was beaten on a split decision by the German WBO world super-middleweight champion back in November, but will return on May 7 in Manchester.
Murray (33-2-1, 15KOs) will be chief support and is looking to put his recent disappointments behind him and move on to a potential huge fight against domestic rival George Groves at some point this year, with promoter Eddie Hearn confirming that talks have been held.
"I'm really happy to be fighting again in Manchester - it's the first time after my world title fights that I have come straight back into 12 rounds so I can´t wait for it," said MGM managed Murray.
"There are some great fights out there for me so I'm hoping they can happen. But first I have to win on May 7 so I am completely focused on getting that job done.
"I've always enjoyed fighting at the Manchester Arena and I've always put in a quality performance, so I'm looking forward to doing the same and putting on a good show for the fans."
Meanwhile, another fighter based at the MGM in Marbella, Isaac Chamberlain, will be fighting on the April 16 in Leeds against Ilkeston's Russ Henshaw (6-0 2KOs).
"I have been working away at my craft in the gym, building myself, getting better and better," said Brixton's 22-year-old cruiserweight Chamberlain (4-0).
"I feel this is a great fight for me with another undefeated opponent who is coming to win. These are the tough fights I need to get to elite level.
"I don´t need journeymen to pad out my record, I´m looking to fight great competition and be in the mix for titles. This is a big step in this direction. Those who don´t take risks will accomplish nothing in life. And I believe in my ability to be amongst the best in the division."
Chamberlain will be supporting Josh Warrington v Hisashi Amagasa's featherweight clash and Stuart Hall v Rodrigo Guerrero's IBF bantamweight world title final eliminator.
