Chris Kongo has called for the backing of Millwall supporters as he prepares to “go to war” at Greenwich’s 02 Arena on Easter Sunday.
Kongo, 31, who has fourteen wins and two defeats in his professional career, makes his return to the ring after more than a year out when he faces unbeaten Albanian Florian Marku.
Bermondsey fighter Kongo’s last bout was a majority decision defeat against Ekow Essuman for the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles in January 2023.
Kongo and Marku squared up to each other and had to be separated at a press conference last year.
“This is personal now and I’m coming for you,” Kongo said.
He added: “On March 31 we’re going to war and I need all of you Millwall fans to make The O2 feel like The Den.
“Grab your tickets and let’s create a proper Bermondsey atmosphere.”
Millwall Community Trust said: “We are backing Millwall Community Trust’s ambassador – we all believe in you.”
