Francis Ampofo in second comeback

Francis Ampofo, the former British and Commonwealth flyweight champion, will make his second career comeback at York Hall, Bethnal Green, on 27 November. Ampofo, who moves up to super-flyweight to meet Gary Hickman, has not fought since his Commonwealth title defeat by South Africa's Daniel Ward 18 months ago.

Tommy Morrison will face Marcus Rhode instead of Anthony Cooks when the HIV positive heavyweight returns to the ring in Tokyo this weekend. Cooks is on his way back to Oklahoma where, according to a local television station, an arrest warrant was issued on Monday after Cooks failed to appear for a jury trial on a charge of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and marijuana.
