Conah Walker faces Sam Eggington in a Midlands welterweight derby in Wolverhampton on Saturday.
Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom promote Walker vs Eggington and DAZN televise live worldwide.
Walker (17-3-1, 8 KOs) has been in fine form since defeat to now-IBF world champion Lewis Crocker, winning four on the spin since.
The 30-year-old Wolverhampton man backed up a pulsating seventh round knockout of Liam Taylor with an upset victory over Pat McCormack in Monaco in December, dramatically stopping the Olympic Silver medalist in the final round.
Eggington (36-9, 20 KOs) will be fighting for the 46th time as a professional and the relentless 32-year-old drops down in weight for this contest.
‘The Savage’ has won twice since falling short in a bid for the vacant European super welterweight title against Abass Baraou in 2024.
Eggington is coming off a ninth round technical decision victory over Lee Cutler last April.
Prediction: Walker should emerge victorious on points in what has all the makings of a barnburner.

Fawaz faces Kelly
Bilal Fawaz makes a first defence of his British and Commonwealth super welterweight titles against Ryan Kelly.
Fawaz (11-1-1, 3 KOs) edged past Ishmael Davis by majority decision to become the champion in February.
Kelly (20-6-1, 8 KOs) has won just one his last four contests, overcoming Elliot Eboigbe in his most recent outing last November.
Prediction: This appears to be a routine first defence for Fawaz, who should retain his belts on points.
Conway clashes with Jeffers
Kieron Conway and Mark Jeffers will both be looking to get back to winning ways in their super middleweight crossroads clash.
Former British and Commonwealth titlist, Conway (23-4-1, 7 KOs) suffered the first stoppage defeat of his career last October, halted by George Liddard in the 10th round.
Jeffers (20-2, 7 KOs) is coming into the contest on a run of two straight defeats to Sean Hemphill and Willy Hutchinson respectively.
Prediction: Conway should have enough to squeeze out a tight points win.
Remaining Undercard
Elsewhere, Shannon Ryan (10-1, 1 KO) can claim the vacant Commonwealth super flyweight title with a points win over Nicola Hopewell (8-1, 1 KO).
Rising prospect, Tiah Mai Ayton (5-0, 4 KOs) can see off Stevi Levy (15-4, 2 KOs) also over the distance in their featherweight clash.

Junaid Bostan (10-1-1, 8 KOs) should get back to winning ways after defeat to the aforementioned Fawaz by stopping Mohammed Graich (12-4-1, 6 KOs).
Louie Ward (1-0) can secure a second professional victory on points over Jesus Carrasco (2-3-2) at super featherweight, while middleweight prospect Harley Burrows should overcome Lewis Howells (3-7) also on points on his professional debut.
