Former WBC super middleweight champion Markus Beyer (34-3-1, 13KOs) is aiming for a big 2008. He officially signed on with Arena Box Promotions and makes his return to the ring on March 13 in Munich, Germany against an opponent to be determined.

Beyer has been out of the ring since a crushing three-round knockout loss to Mikkel Kessler in a 2006 unification bout. He tried to resume his career in 2007, but problems behind the scenes put a halt to his plans.

"I never stopped boxing. I said in 2007 that I would fight again, but that didn't work out. Now I look forward to 2008," Beyer said. "Training camp for me was like a test.  I

wanted to see how I would manage.  And… it was great."
