Junior Witter's comeback opponent confirmed

Sheffield's former WBC light-welterweight champion Junior Witter fights for the first time in 18 months on February 19th.

He faces Romanian-born, Canada-based Victor Puiu (18-1-2) at the Hershey Centre, Mississauga, Ontario.

Since a sparkling performance in defence of his former title against Vivian Harris in September 2007, Witter is 1-2 though his losses were against two of the sport's best boxers in Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander.

Witter, 36, has struggled with a debilitating knee injury which happened out of the blue when out running.  He steps up to welterweight for this match.
