46-year old former WBC and EBU cruiserweight champ Giacobbe Fragomeni (32-5-2, 13KOs) comes back after almost a year out on October 4 in Sorbolo. The opponent is Croatian Marko Martinjak (formerly known as Marko Rupcic) (5-15-2).

Fragomeni was knocked out by Rahkim Chahkhiev in 2014 in a fight for the EBU title. Two fights prior to that, he challenged then WBC champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk in a rematch. The tough Polish fighter won inside the distance (as he did in their first meeting in 2010).
