Dirrell tweets he is looking at March return

Andre Dirrell has blown off the cobwebs of his twitter account to reveal he is aiming for a March return date and has also picked Abraham by KO in the forthcoming Super Six tournament showdown between Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham for the vacant WBC super middleweight title.

Dirrell reveals he is currently 183lb and is enjoying working out again in the gym, declaring that his health feels good.

The Flint, Michigan Olympian divided opinion with his recent withdrawal from the Showtime Super Six tournament, with many cynics believing there were money issues with the proposed WBA title fight between himself and Oakland's Andre Ward. The rumours were fuelled even further as Team Dirrell announced that "They need to get the money right." when asked about the Ward fight.

Is this the tweet you're talking about?
@Vlad146 march is the target date but I highly doubt it. Hoping for the best!

I thought the man was brain damaged and retiring due to his horrific brain injury?

He hasn't got many options now though. Showtime aren't going to touch him and they have most of the Super Middleweights locked up now. He'll be going to court against them as well next year if he does miraculously come back

The guys twitter has been silent for 2 months whilst the controversy was in full force. Now he thinks it has blown over, he has surfaced again and made about 35 tweets in an evening. More than any other user I know.

Surprising how he can squint into a mobile for so long given his terrible condition.

He's also filmed himself on the bags jumping around, which must be really painful for his headaches and dizziness.

What a warrior.

The punch Abraham landed on him wasn't even that hard. He milked it during the fight and has completely taken the pi$$ since then. His team wanted more money to face Andre Ward, because I don't feel they were that confident he would win and rightly so.

Dirrell is gonna be one of those fighters who completely wastes his physical talent by continously f**king up, mark my words. He's another Zab Judah, a mental midget.

Have you ever heard of Google? Yes? Then you don't need to ask the question.
