Josh Taylor is set to defend his undisputed super-lightweight belts for the first time this weekend, where he's up against unbeaten Chorley fighter Jack Catterall.
Taylor beat Jose Carlos Ramirez last year to clinch all four belts and it may be his final fight at this weight level, with expectation the Scotsman will move up if he clinches victory.
Catterall, the WBO's mandatory challenger, will seek to prevent that with the fight in Glasgow, as he looks to maintain his stellar 26-0 record.
Initially scheduled for December, the fight was pushed back due to Taylor's injury but it all comes to a head on Saturday night - and we've got everything you need to know about the bout.
The fight will be broadcast by Sky Sports on Saturday night and is available without pay-per-view access, unlike last weekend's bout between Amir Khan and Kell Brook.
A Sky Sports subscription is all that is required to have access to the fight, with coverage of the event set to begin at 19:00 on Sky Sports Action and from 20:00 on the Main Event channel.
Viewers can also stream the event via mobile devices, tablets or laptops using the Sky Sports app.
