Lewis Ritson will return to the boxing ring after a three month absence tonight to face Dejan Zlaticanin.
The 28-year-old lightweight last fought back in December 2021 to defeat Christian Uruzquieta and makes a swift return to the ring to go toe-to-toe with Zlaticanin. The former British world champions will be hoping to come out on top against the 37-year-old Montenegrin fighter, who has lost just three of his 27 professional fights.
Ritson has an impressive record winning 22 of his 24 fights, with 13 of those wins coming as knockouts. The Sandman will headline a card in Newcastle tonight as he looks to win his first fight in 2022.
