BRITISH heavyweight Dereck Chisora, involved in a well-publicized brawl with former world champion David Haye last year, is set for a return to the ring after being reissued with a boxing license.
The Londoner was stripped of his right to fight following the incident at a news conference after he unsuccessfully challenged Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight title in Munich in early 2012. But the British Boxing Board of Control has now reinstated the Zimbabwean-born fighter and he is lined up for a comeback fight against an unnamed opponent on April 20. "I'm glad that this whole episode is finally behind me and I can carry on with my boxing career in my own country and with a British Boxing Board of Control license," the 29-year-old said.
