The 35-year-old suffered a broken hand in his last World Boxing Organisation (WBO) intercontinental bout against Gary Corcoran last July which he controversially lost.
London-based former African welterweight champion and Prizefighter winner Ekundayo (12-1, 3KOs) is now the latest addition to MTK Global’s ‘High Stakes’ fight card at the Brentwood Centre in Essex on Saturday, March 3.
"I had surgery, I’ve started to use my hand again in sparring and I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring," said Ekundayo.
"I had a bone growing out of place and it was affecting nerves in my knuckles. It was causing me really bad pain before my last fight, but I had to just get on with it. The bone has been shaved back, so I’m recovering well and I can use my hands properly now.
"To be honest, I’m a fighter and it doesn’t matter where or when I get my shot. Even if I have to fight Corcoran again to get it, we can do it again – for a title if possible. It depends on what MTK have in line for me," said the former Prizefighter winner.
"I’m just proper excited about getting back in the ring. I haven’t had any word on an opponent yet, but I’m grateful to have MTK behind me and to get me back out on March 3," the Nigerian boxer said.
