DILLIAN WHYTE returns to the boxing ring next month in a clash with undefeated American Jermaine Franklin.
Whyte has been out of action since his destructive knockout loss to Tyson Fury earlier this year at Wembley Stadium.
The Body Snatcher was stopped in the sixth round of his clash with the Gypsy King, who retained his WBC heavyweight title.
But now Whyte, who is still looking for world honours, is back in a competitive bout against 21-0 Franklin.
Franklin has wins over Jerry Forrest, Pavel Sour and Rydell Booker on his CV.
But his duel with Whyte will be his biggest step-up yet, and you can certainly expect some heavy duty action on the night.

What has been said?
“I can’t wait to get into the ring and show the world that when push comes to shove I can get right back up in Wembley and remind everyone why I was WBC number one for over four years,” Whyte said.
“As an undefeated Heavyweight, Franklin is a dangerous guy but I’m going to teach him quite a few lessons at the OVO on November 26. Most importantly, I’m going to teach him how to lose.”
“I’m super hyped to fight in the UK,” said Franklin. “They love boxing and I plan on making a statement when I beat Dillian.
“I want them to be loud and love my boxing style and have them embrace me as the people’s champ. The world will see the real Jermaine Franklin Jr.”
