JOHNNY ARMOUR will be hoping to produce his Sunday best when he returns to the ring on April 2.
The 37-year-old former European, Commonwealth and World bantamweight champion will be in action at York Hall, Bethnal Green, with his sights firmly set on a final title shot. His opponent is yet to be confirmed.
Armour’s emphatic points decision win over Jamaican Delroy Spencer last month put him on the road to a shot at Martin Power’s British bantamweight crown. Victory next month could set up a showdown with Power.
Armour’s manager Eugene Maloney said: "Johnny showed against Spencer that he still has something to give. He has a great CV. He was in the gym three days after beating Spencer.
"If you cheat in this game you get found out but Johnny is a credit to boxing. Martin Power is managed by my brother Frank and a clash is a possibility if Johnny wins next month."
Armour, who has been working hard with trainer Alan Smith at Deptford’s Fight Factory, said: "I felt a little nervous before my fight against Spencer because I knew if I lost I would probably have to retire.
"But I was pleased with my performance. I need to get another win now and then hopefully face Power. He’s a game boxer who throws lots of punches but I can beat him."
