The eight-man tournament will feature mostly Australasian boxers, including Kiwi Monty Filimaea and Australian Daniel Ammann, who will be matched up to meet over three three-minute rounds in quarter-finals until an eventual champion is crowned.
"I really want to come back and fight Aloua again," Pitt said. "I want the rematch, so if I can get over there and start knocking some people out then the general public might say it's a fight that has to happen and he might have to take it, so that's my motivation for it. I want to redeem myself from my last performance."
The Melbourne-based Pitt (15-1) has produced 10 of his 12 career knockouts inside the first three rounds, which gives the indication the Super 8 format may suit his power-punching style.
He has fallen in and out of love with the sport numerous times but the 32-year-old said his loss to Aloua had stoked a fire within.
"I still feel like I've got plenty left in me and I wanted to have another crack, so here we are."
Nicknamed 'Hollywood' as a tip of the cap to his namesake of acting fame, the Pitt of the boxing persuasion never championed the moniker but it was bestowed upon him as a teenager.
"At one of my first amateur fights, one of the ring announcers said: 'We've got Brad 'Hollywood' Pitt there' and it's just stuck ever since then. I haven't named myself Hollywood, it's sort of just stuck to me. I don't mind it."
Sharing a name with a celebrity also brought the inevitable wisecracks: "I've heard all the jokes," he chuckled.
