Russia’s 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, according to statements that his manager Vadim Kornilov told 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."
Provodnikov, known to fight fans as the ‘Siberian Rocky,’ was last seen in the ring on June 11, 2016, as he clearly lost a twelve round unanimous decision, when he was outboxed by John Molina.
