Danny Williams and Audley Harrison meet tomorrow night in the biggest heavyweight boxing clash in Britain for over a decade.
The winner will be lined up for a shot at Matt Skelton's British title and possibly a World title shot. Audley Harrison is still unbeaten as a professional since his Sydney Olympics triumph, whilst Williams will probably always be known as the man who beat Tyson.
Who will win? The fight is live on ITV.

The crowd seems to be behind Williams for this one...

Williams nearly had him in the 2nd, there.
Harrison looks scared.

Better round for Harrison. I'd have it even so far.

Harrison cut in Round 4. May have been from a clash of heads. Williams' round.

7 rounds in. Williams has gone a bit quiet. Harrison is starting to take control. Williams still looks capable of landing a big punch.
I'd have them even so far.

It's a disappointing fight. The crowd are getting bored. Hopefully, that will spur one of them on to do something.

Williams failed to take advantage of the knockdown and allowed Harrison to recover.
I'd have Williams a couple of points ahead with 2 rounds to go...

Round 11 - Good round for Harrison but he couldn't put Williams away. Both men looking tired now. One big punch could end it either way.
I have Williams a point ahead going into the final round.

Good final round. Both men trying to finish it. Very close fight.
I'd just give it to Williams.
How will the judges score it?

The first 9 rounds were crap, the last 3 rounds were great.
Williams may get another world title shot. The heavyweight division is weak at the moment with 4 world champions who are all beatable. He looked like he wanted it more. Harrison does not look like a future world champion. He was awful. Too negative and didn't land any telling shots until after he'd been knocked down.
