Boxing fans are in for a treat on February 19th, when long-term rivals Amir Khan and Kell Brook will finally face-off in the ring.
With a rivalry that has spanned over a decade, the fight between Khan and Brook is fiercely anticipated and will take place in front of a sold out Manchester Arena.
Tickets for the event sold out remarkably quickly, with fans having waited years to see the pair face off - and it could be the last time in the ring for each of the fighters.
While plenty of the attention will be cast towards that pairing, a packed undercard is on offer that will present a host of action to watch - including a number of local fighters.
From the Manchester area are Bradley Rea, looking to maintain his unbeaten 11-0 record, and Charlie Schofield, who has won his two bouts since a defeat in 2019 handed him his first career loss.
Representing Merseyside, Natasha Jonas has the world-title shot she's been waiting for ever since her agonising defeat to Katie Taylor as she battles Ewa Piatkowska for the vacant WBO super-welterweight championship.
Also on the undercard is Frazer Clarke, making his professional debut after starring at the Tokyo Olympics, and highly-rated siblings Adam and Hassan Azim, who are both tipped for stardom in the boxing scene.
