Former champion Thomas Hearns is planning to a return to the ring for the first time in five years, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
His opponent for the July 30 bout in downtown Detroit was scheduled to be announced Friday, spokeswoman Kathie Stonehouse said. The 46-year-old Hearns (59-5-1, 46 knockouts) will fight on the same card as his son, Ronald Hearns, a 26-year-old middleweight who is 6-0.
``There's a lot of fire built up inside of me,'' Thomas Hearns told The Detroit News in Thursday's papers. ``It's the same way it was when I started boxing. It's inside of me because I feel this is what I want to do to make myself happy and better myself.''
Thomas Hearns already has had a distinctive career with six world titles in five weight classes. He last fought in 2000 against Uriah Grant in Detroit, but was forced to quit the bout after an injury.

People need to not support these types of events (comebacks of the way past anything resembling prime), they are stupid, foolish and dangerous, and typically not very entertaining!
