After producing a late stoppage against Jessie Vargas in New York last April, Liam Smith returns to his home city of Liverpool later this evening.
The Merseyside fighter will be looking to get back into world title contention with a win over Tanzania's Hassan Mwakinyo who poses a significant threat to Smith.
Mwakinyo is known for his hard-hitting punches and already knows what it takes to win in enemy territory after stopping Sam Eggington in his hometown of Birmingham in 2018.
With Smith and Mwakinyo being two fighters who are not afraid to go toe-to-toe and let their hands go, this fight could be one to remember on Merseyside.
