James DeGale will return to the ring later this month.

The former IBF world super-middleweight title holder, 32, has been out of action since winning the belt back from Caleb Truax in a rematch back in April.

DeGale then relinquished the belt, stating that he is entering the final stages of his career and wants more financially rewarding fight and opting against facing his mandatory challenger Jose Uzcategui, who is now the champion.

But ‘Chunky’ will come back in the States in an eight-round contest on September 30, as part of the supporting cast to Victor Ortiz’ welterweight clash against John Molina Jr.

The card, which is to be aired on Fox Sports 1 in the States, is promoted by Tom Brown of TGB Promotions and also features British duo Kody Davies and Olympic silver medal winner Joe Joyce.

Both Davies and Joyce will be looking to remain unbeaten and also be hopeful of making an impression in the American market, while DeGale is hopeful that a win against an opponent to be confirmed will lead to a blockbuster fight in December or January.
