WHAT a fight... and what a stage! Former Midlands champs Ashlee Eales and Jermaine Osbourne-Edwards collide on Boxxer's huge December 20 show at Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena.

The event, topped by the triple-title super-middleweight clash between Callum Simpson and Troy Williamson, is being televised by the BBC.

And the Beeb will certainly get their money's worth from Eales and Osbourne-Edwards in the buildup.

Both are supreme showmen who throw out glorious quotes. They are two of the most colourful characters in pro boxing.
