The former two-division champion has been out of action since suffering the first defeat of his career, a sixth-round stoppage against David Benavidez in November 2023. Now, he’ll officially return on July 24 as the headliner for CES Boxing’s Championship Jackpot against an opponent TBD at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Although he’s been inactive over the last few years, Andrade (32-1, 19 KOs) has called out some of the game’s best, including Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo and Canelo Alvarez.

Andrade, a former 2008 Olympian, doesn’t believe any of the notable names either in or around the super middleweight division want to fight him.

Unfortunately for the 38-year-old, big fights have eluded him. However, on the biggest night of his career, Benavidez (32-0, 26 KOs) prevented him from becoming a three-division champ.

Shortly after that defeat, Andrade admitted that Benavidez’s size, not skills, was overwhelming. But with Benavidez now campaigning several weight classes above Andrade as a full-fledged cruiserweight, he’s hoping to take advantage of the final few years of his career and recapture his championship status.
