Somebody's 0 has got to go when Akeem Ennis-Brown and Sam Maxwell touch gloves ahead of their eagerly-awaited super-lightweight title fight in Birmingham.

There's no love lost between Ennis-Brown (14-0) and Maxwell (15-0) with Ennis-Brown, the defending British and Commonwealth champion, installed as favourite.

'Riiddy Rival' is a princely boxer who has efficiently seen off a string of decent (and some not-so-decent) opponents, with 13 of his 14 fights settled by a decision.

Maxwell possesses the anger and has certainly fought some decent pros – he should have lost to Frenchman Sabri Sediri, who floored the Londoner a couple of times before the tide turned.

Ennis-Brown, though, has the tools to be able to keep Maxwell at a distance and win this bad-tempered showdown on points.
