Leigh Wood puts his WBA featherweight title on the line against Michael Conlan.
The Nottingham born champion is set to defend his belt against Belfast’s Conlan in what should be a tough test.
The bout will be Wood's first title defence, as he looks to elevate his stature - in a bid to one day fight at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground.
The 33-year-old has never hidden his ambition to headline an event at the home of his beloved football club but first Conlan stands in his way.
As mentioned, it will be a tough test for Wood come Saturday, with Conlan the bookies’ favourite to win in front of a sold-out crowd.
His last fight was a WBA Interim World title win over TJ Doheny at Falls Park back in August. Wood, meanwhile, won the title off China's Xu Can last July in an upset.
And fans will witness an exciting undercard in the build up to the fight. Here's all you need to know:
