American ready to resume career at Barclays Center
Promising fighter Danny Jacobs will step in the ring for the
first time in 19 months on October 20 at the Barclays Center in New York after
recovering from a life threatening spinal illness.
The 25 year-old, who has lost just once in 23 bouts,
underwent a major operation last year to remove a rare form of cancer and has spent the past twelve months in
recovery. ‘The Golden Child’ finally received a formal all clear from doctors
this week and is delighted to be able to resume his career on a huge card in
Brooklyn.
"This is only the beginning,” Jacobs told World Boxing
News.
“Now that I'm cleared and have a second chance at this
wonderful sport of boxing, there's nothing that is going to get in my way. I am
destined for greatness!
“I want to sat thanks to all the fans that supported me and
I hope we all can share this wonderful moment together October 20 live in
Brooklyn."
Topping the bill will be Danny Garcia in defence of his
unified world titles in a rematch with Erik Morales, whilst Paulie Malignaggi
will make the first defence of his WBA welterweight title and 160lber Peter
Quillin will aim to keep up his impressive unbeaten run.
