It's not long now until Liam Smith and Anthony Fowler meet in a super welterweight Merseyside Derby in front of a capacity crowd at the M&S Bank Arena.
As well as implications for their respective careers, local bragging rights are at stake with Smith representing the north of Liverpool and Fowler flying the flag for the south.
Fowler will be hoping he can record an impressive win against a member of one of British boxing's most successful families and it's the sort of name needed on a record which can help thrust the 30-year-old into the world title picture.
Smith meanwhile will be looking to keep his career alive with a win against his domestic and city rival. The 33-year-old has already told DAZN that he will have to consider his options if indeed does lose to Fowler tonight.
Will Smith be able to keep the fire burning for a little bit longer or will Fowler become the new poster boy for boxing in Liverpool?
