Former world heavyweight champion Rid**** Bowe will face Paul 'Rocky' Phillips in his latest comeback fight later this month.
Bowe and Phillips will fight over 10 rounds in Covington, Kentucky, on August 19. The bout had originally been pencilled in for August 3.
Bowe is currently training at his home town in Maryland but is due to head to Kentucky for a pre-fight camp later this week.
'Big Daddy' beat Evander Holyfield to win the undisputed heavyweight championship in 1992 but lost a rematch the following year. That remains his only defeat in 43 career bouts.
He won the WBO version of the title in 1995 by beating Briton Herbie Hide but later relinquished it before a spell in prison for kidnapping his wife and children.
He made a two-fight comeback in 2004-05 and will now return to the ring again following a two-year break
(Now wouldnt it be something if Lewis came out of retirement for Bowe..there is no love lost between them two)
