It's fight day in Sheffield where Dave Allen takes on the biggest test of his career against the menacing Arslanbek Makhmudov.
The star appeared destined for a second retirement before his first fight with Johnny Fisher last December, but now begins a two-fight Matchroom deal after his success.
In Makhmudov, he faces one of the tougher operators of his late-career revival - and Allen will know that he will need to call on all of his assets to seal a homecoming win.
For Allen, there is a huge reward if he manages to win with another big fight being lined up for the 'White Rhino' with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder being a possible opponent.

The fight is set to be held at Utilita Arena Sheffield, in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Ahead of his meeting with Makhmudov, Allen gave the Matchroom Boxing cameras access to a day in training camp as he prepares for the biggest moment of his boxing career.
On Tuesday, Dave Allen and Arslanbek Makhmudov kicked off the build-up to their heavyweight contest with a face off in front of Sheffield Town Hall.
As the two exchanged words, Makhmudov had a simple three word message for Allen before before the opening bell on Saturday.
The two fighters hit the scales on Friday ahead of fight night with Dave Allen slightly lighter compared to his next opponent.
If you told me this time last year that a rejuvinated Dave Allen would be the talk of the British boxing, I would have asked what planet you were on!
Instead, Allen has taken his opportunity to be back in the big time with both hands, and after knocking out Johnny Fisher in May, he now has the chance to do something similar against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Makhmudov was once the heavyweight division's 'boogyeman', but a loss to Agit Kabayel at the end of 2023 has wiped away his invincibilty and it's the perfect time for Allen to face him.
In the shape of his life, Allen will look to establish his power early, put Makhmudov on the back foot and with the Sheffield crowd roaring him on, he will be looking to land aplenty.
It will be a heavyweight slugfest with both men not afraid to let their hands go, but I can see Allen winning that battle with a late stoppage on a tired and batterd Makhmudov.
