Ex-pat Whanganui boxer Robert Berridge continues to take on a busy winter schedule by adding a third fight in as many months as he will take on Taranaki's Sam Rapira in New Plymouth in September.
Just returned from his unanimous points decision loss to No4-ranked Eleider Alvarez in Canada, Berridge
(27-5-1) announced via Facebook on Wednesday that he had signed to fight fellow light heavyweight Rapira (15-2).
"Thanks to Sam Rapira for taking this fight, I look forward to it.
"I get a six week training camp so will be good to be fighting at 100 per cent."
Berridge took the fight in Quebec with Alvarez on five days notice.
