Local heavyweight boxer Mussa Ajibu will return into the ring on April 28 when he faces South African pugilist Ruann Visser in a 10-round non-title fight at Elsberg Sports and Leisure Centre in Lilongwe.
Ajibu, 38, last fought on August 26 last year when he lost to Apti Davtaev.
The Malawian has vowed to stop Visser.
“I am more than ready. I cannot describe my anger and hunger for this fight. I have never been this fit for a fight,” Ajibu said.
