Former WBO cruiserweight champ Enzo Maccarinelli hopes to return with a win when he fights at the Metro Arena in Newscastle on December 5 and has also vowed to win back his world title.
The 29 year-old from Swansea has lost three of his last four fights including his WBO title to newly crowned heavyweight champ David Haye in 2008 and has vowed to continue boxing until he regains his world title.
"After my last fight against Denis Lebedev there was talk of me retiring,” said Maccarinelli.
"I had a long think about where my career was going, but I’ve got my hunger back now.
"Being a world champion meant a lot to me and it hurt so much losing my world title.
"There’s no way that I’ll quit before I win it back, and the plan is to have a couple of warm-up fights before stepping up to championship level in 2010."
Talking about his latest defeat at the hands of unbeaten Russian Denis Lebedev Maccarinelli added:: "There were a few things that weren’t right in the ring against Lebedev and it wasn’t a question of me not being good enough, I just didn’t fight the right fight.
