Squaring off against New Zealand fighter Shiva Mishra on May 28, England will be hoping to power his way to victory in his first bout in over a year.
The pandemic hit hard for England, who went from having at least four fights a year to none in the blink of an eye.
"It's been very frustrating not having someone to fight in over a year," he said.
"I've been training non-stop all year around but the biggest factor is that you can do as much hard work as you want but if you have no goal to look forward to you get quite agitated.
"There's nothing to put your hard work towards and now that I actually have a fight I can't wait to be out there again."
Now the Mandurah-based fighter is set to contest the WBC Asian Boxing Council and IBO Oceania Orient Championships, which would see England hit the top 30 in the world if he wins.
"In March last year I won the WBC Asia Super Featherweight Title, which put me at 40 in the world," England said.
"These next two belts are guaranteed top 30 in the world so they put me down 10 more spaces in the world ranking.
"I'm excited, happy and grateful for this fight."
England said he had been covering all his bases to prepare for his return to the ring.
"I've been doing all my work up at my coach's house because due to COVID-19 he had to close his gym doors," he said.
"He moved everything to his place up in the mountains. The altitude up there is quite high and it's thin air so all of the training is a hell of a lot harder."
Other than getting ready for his fight against Shiva Mishra there has been something even bigger England has been preparing for. A baby.
"I've got a baby on the way so I want to get this fight out the way so I can be there for my partner," England said.
"By the end of the year I'm hoping to have more fights.
"I want to fight some bigger names but a lot of them don't want to fight until it's in their favour, however, if I win these two fights they will have to fight me there is no where to hide."
England's bout will be held at Metro City in Perth on Friday, May 28.

The West Australian standout steps up to super featherweight to contest the WBC Asian Boxing Council and IBO Oceania Orient Championships on May 28 in Metro City, Perth in the Main Event of the popular Thunderdome series vs New Zealand Shiva Mishra 7-3 over 10 rounds.
England has had a solid start to his professional career, winning 12 of his opening 13 professional contests whilst becoming Australian Featherweight champion and WBC Silver ABCO Title in the process. Jackson, who is trained at the Onyx Gym by head trainer Jay Gray in Perth, opened up about his upcoming title clash.
England said,
"I am excited to be progressing in the way I am and I believe I can go all the way in this sport. I am still only young, so it is important to have the right people to guide you. I need to have that and I believe I do in Tony Tolj and Dragon Fire Boxing.
“I have the opportunity thanks to Tony to fight for another WBC title. We all grew up watching the likes of Floyd Mayweather winning WBC titles, so to start along that path is something I’m very grateful to be given the chance to go on.”
England returns on this year's second installment of the world-renowned Thunderdome series since the pandemic hit, that has been a mainstay of Australian boxing for decades in itself. England discussed his next outing and his plans for 2020.
He said, "Well I firstly need to keep listening to my manager Tony Tolj as he knows what's best for my career. He's guided the likes of the Moloney's, Bruno Tarimo, Andres Campos to major titles and I want to follow in their footsteps and I believe I can. They are all world rated, Ive just cracked the WBC ratings prior to the pandemic and we are just getting started.
"I'm always improving, so I expect to put on a career-best performance at the Thunderdome show. I believe I can go all the way to the top in this sport and I have the opportunity to get back into the WBC rankings in my next fight so that is a massive motivation for me in this fight.
"I wanted more titles in 2021 and I have that opportunity on May 28. I believe that I can progress up the world ratings titles in a way the likes of Bruno Tarimo has done around my weight so I'd like to follow his path up the world route as I believe I'm destined for world titles eventually."
