Ex-heavyweight champ Martin returns tonight

By Fightnews.com

Former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin (23-1-1, 21 KOs) quietly returns tonight in an off-TV bout against journeyman Byron Polley (30-20-1, 13 KOs) tonight at the Fitz Tunica Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. It will be Martin’s first fight since losing the title to Anthony Joshua 12 months ago. Martin had acquired the vacant world title in inauspicious fashion three months earlier when his opponent Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a sudden knee injury and couldn’t continue.
