\"derekchisoraheader\"<\/a>Dereck Chisora (25-6, 17 KOs) returns to the ring on September 10 with an eight-round contest against Drazan Janjanin (13-7, 12 KOs) at the Hovet in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

The former British, Commonwealth and European Champion is the latest addition to a stacked card in the Swedish capital topped by the female grudge match between domestic rivals Mikaela Laur\u00e9n and Klara Svensson.<\/p>\n

Chisora missed out on a second reign as European Champion in May, losing via split decision to Pulev, but having regrouped, the British boxer and his team will attempt to launch another title assault, starting with a keep-busy contest against the big punching Bosnian Janjanin.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019This is the fight game,\u2019\u2019 said Chisora. \u2018\u2019If you lose, you have to rebuild and come back. I lost a close fight to Pulev, but I\u2019m still in a good position. I want a rematch, but let\u2019s see if they give it to me. Either way, there are a lot big fights out there for me, and I\u2019m ready to fight anyone.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The 32 year-old says he is looking forward to fighting in Stockholm, having never visited the city before, and will be ringside supporting local fighter Anthony Yigit and watching the main event unfold as Laur\u00e9n and Svensson battle it out for the interim WBC Female World Welterweight title.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I\u2019m excited to be fighting to Sweden,\u2019\u2019 he says. \u2018\u2019This will be my first time in Stockholm, but I\u2019ve heard it\u2019s a great place. That is one of the good things about working with a big promoter like Team Sauerland – you get to fight all over Europe, and that\u2019s one of the reasons I wanted to sign with them.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019They\u2019ve also got my boy Anthony \u2018Can You Dig It\u2019 Yigit on the card. I look forward to watching his fight, and the main event. I love women\u2019s boxing, and I think it\u2019s a great thing to have two female fighters headlining a big show.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
