Former two-time world heavyweight champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman returns to action on Thursday, February 22 at the Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming Resort in West Virginia. The Baltimore native will fight in the 10-round main event bout on the card against an opponent to be determined.
This will be Rahman's first bout since losing the WBC Heavyweight crown to Oleg Maskaev on August 12 in Las Vegas.
It is interesting to note that Joe Mesi will also be on the card, fighting in a 10-round co-feature. There is talk that if Rahman and Mesi win their bouts, a possible matchup between the two will take place.
The two bouts will be televised live by the Versus Network (formerly the Outdoor Life Network).

Hmm...It's good to see these two back in the ring (well, I actually kind of have mixed-feelings about both being in the ring at this stage, but that aside...) I'm glad to see this is a double-header, and will be televised. What has me a bit apprehensive? The opponents who are currently going by "T.B.A". I'm not asking that they be put in with 'world beaters', but let's at least put these guys in with decent and respectable C-level journeymen types perhaps? Is that too much to ask for?
* Max Schmelling could have defeated Mesi's last few opponents...In his present state that is!
