Beatriz Ferreira and Yanina del Carmen Lescano will meet in an encounter to crown a new world champion when the pair square off in a women's lightweight contest this weekend, with the action set to unfold from M&S Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
The duo will fight on the undercard of Peter McGrail and Marc Leach's bout on Merseyside. The prize of the IBF women's lightweight belt, which Katie Taylor vacated following the latter's return to the super lightweight category, is at stake.
Former Tokyo 2020 silver medalist Ferreira has only fought four professional bouts to date but could add a crown to her Olympics success when the Brazilian meets her Argentine rival in an all-South American clash.
Del Carmen Lescano, meanwhile, arrives with more experience but will be considered an outsider by many, particularly after a points loss to Caroline Dubois last year.
Elsewhere on the bill, McGrail and Leach will headline in a super bantamweight clash, while Pat McCormack will face off with Williams Andres Herrera in a welterweight bout, but how can you watch all the action unfold?
