Aaron McKenna is set for a July return to the ring as part of the Prize fighter tournament in Japan.
The competition was due to take place earlier this year but was postponed and will now take place from July 15th with the quarter-final pairings.
The "Silencer" along with seven other middleweight fighters will compete for a top prize of $1 million. Unbeaten American-Puerto Rican Jeovanny Estela will face the Monaghan boxer who is also unbeaten in the last eight.
