"I'm back," Joe Goodall said. "I'm looking forward to reminding everyone about the forgotten heavyweight of Australian boxing. "I can't wait to make my long awaited return to the ring against the very tough and very experienced Herman Ene-Purcell."

In the pros he's undefeated in seven fights with six wins and one draw. Five of his six wins have come via first round knock out.

It's also a personal and sentimental opportunity for the Herminator. "To fight on Brayd's night is something really special to me." Ene-Purcell said. "Brayd was special to me, he believed in me when many others didn't and I'm forever grateful for that but also his father Brendon who is more than a trainer manager to me so to fight on this night for him is also truly special. "Brayd was a WBC World Youth Champion so to fight for a WBC belt on his night is an incredible honour. "Joe Goodall is a tremendous talent, he's got all the skills but respectfully I believe I'm the toughest test of his career. "I've rubbed shoulders with the likes of Paul Gallen, Will Nasio, Kyotara Fujimoto, Justin Whitehead and many others so I'm seasoned and I honestly feel like I'm only getting better.
