Joe Cordina looks to become the IBF super featherweight champion for a second time when he takes on Shavkatdzh Rakhimov in Cardiff.
Cordina first won the belt last June when he emphatically knocked out Kenichi Ogawa, however, a subsequent hand injury saw the Welshman stripped of the title and Rakhimov crowned the new champion late last year.
Now Cordina will want to relive the same feelings from that night in June against Rakhimov who will pose a huge test.
