Joe Joyce and Joseph Parker will finally meet in the much-anticipated heavyweight match this weekend.
After a lengthy negotiation, Joyce and Parker have agreed to host a night.
‘Juggernaut’ Joyce has yet to taste defeat in his professional career and has dispatched Christian Hammer, Carlos Takam and Daniel Dubois along the way.
However, his opponent has fought twice the number of times and has a 70% success rate in KOs. He has never been knockedout.
This clash could spark some fireworks in ring, and talkSPORT will bring exclusive commentary.

Joyce v Parker: What’s been said?
Joseph Parker to talkSPORT: “I enjoy working with Andy Lee.
“I had eight years of Kevin and we achieved a lot but moving here and working with Andy I feel revived as a fighter.
“The passion that I did lose for boxing, I got it right back and I love it. I love camp life. While I miss my family, camp life is what I cherish.
“I love [training]. That’s all we do! All the fighters out there know it’s train, eat sleep, repeat. It’s getting you in great shape for the fight and I’m loving every moment of it.”
Frank Warren said: “This is a fantastic fight that really keeps the heavyweight ball rolling. While it has taken a while, the match features two quality heavyweights fighting for a shot at a world title shot.
“It is one the fans want to see so I am delighted to be taking this blockbuster fight to Manchester, the biggest indoor arena in the country, which we want to see packed to the rafters.
“Joseph Parker is obviously a well-known and highly respected fight figure over here in the UK, both for his exploits in the ring and him working alongside Tyson Fury up in Morecambe. He has also looked a much better heavyweight since he teamed up with Andy Lee. His victory over Dereck Chisora is a complete one.
“This is the perfect test of big Joe’s world championship credentials and victory over Parker would propel him into the top echelons of the division and right in the mix with the likes of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.”
