DAN AZEEZ returns to the ring on Saturday night as he looks to move back into major title contention.
The Lewisham boxer takes on the undefeated Lewis Edmondson for the British light-heavyweight title.

Since losing the belt, the 35-year-old drew with Hrvoje Sep in a comeback fight at Selhurst Park in June.
Now Azeez looks to reclaim the vacant title on the huge undercard of Adam Azim vs Ohara Davies.
