Elcock to return to the ring next month


Birmingham's former British middleweight champion Wayne Elcock is set to return to action next month.

The 36-year-old has been idle since a three-round stoppage defeat in an all-Birmingham British title fight with Matthew Macklin in March 2009.

Since then, a December fight with the current British boss, Barnet's Darren Barker, fell through and many expected Elcock to fade away quietly.

But the Paddy Lynch-trained boxer, 19-4 (9) and an ex-IBF world title challenger, has been pencilled in for a outing in October.

He hopes a victory or two will lead to a crack at his old belt.

"A win or two and i'll be right up there [with the best fighters at 11st 6lbs].

"I'm fit, ready and eager to bring another title to the Second City," added the Shard End-based fighter.
