Mike Perez returns to the ring this Saturday in Belfast, live on Sky Sports.

Mike Perez is starting a new chapter at cruiserweight after his promising career was derailed by tragedy.

The talented Cuban appeared to be haunted by a brutal heavyweight victory as his world title ambitions were shattered within a handful of fights.

But Perez appears mentally and physically stronger ahead of his debut in a new division this Saturday night on the undercard of Lee Haskins' IBF title
defence against Ryan Burnett, live on Sky Sports.

Perez returns on undercard of Lee Haskins' IBF title defence against Ryan Burnett

A member of Cuba's stellar amateur team, Perez won gold in the world junior championships, and holds a victory over compatriot Luis 'King Kong' Ortiz.

His start to life as a professional would give a hint of the arduous journey to come, with Perez fleeing the communist country to pursue financial reward in Ireland.
