Nasser Al-Harbi and Jamie Ball collide in a 10-round eliminator for the English light-middleweight championship in a fight that is the biggest Birmingham v Black Country derby since Dudley 'Bodysnatcher' Darren McDermott challenged British middleweight champion Wayne Elcock in June, 2008.

Birmingham triumphed that night after McDermott was stopped on a cut – and Al Harbi is planning another victory for the Second City on the value-for-money Coldwell Promotions' show after putting together a punch-perfect 13-fight record.

Al-Harbi is from the same Yemeni stock as former world featherweight champion Prince Naseem Hamed – and has been tipped to follow Hamed to the top of the world.

Richie Woodhall, the former WBC super-middleweight champion and television pundit, used to train Al-Harbi and has predicted the 22 year-old can be Birmingham's next boxing superstar.

Al-Harbi will have home advantage in the big fight, but Ball, from nearby Coseley, is one of the Midlands' biggest ticket sellers and has given his fans plenty to cheer in his 14-fight unbeaten career.

Ball, trained by uncle and former unbeaten professional Shaun Cooper, has won his last three fights by knock out and captured the Midlands Area 11-stones belt to set up the biggest fight of his career.

Coldwell is currently putting together the rest of the bill – and it includes a fighter rated the most exciting in Britain by veteran fight manager Jim Evans.

Peter Vaughan, known as 'The Banbudy Bull,' has ended Phill Fury's unbeaten record and reached the semi-finals of the light-middleweight 'Prizefighter' with his non-stop attacks and tough-guy Terry Carruthers should provide more thrills when he battles for a belt in front of his home crowd.

Carruthers is a fight anyone, toe-to-toe slugger and will box for the vacant British Masters middleweight championship.

Birmingham favourites Callum Cooper and Craig Cunningham, both unbeaten, also box on the show.
