Tony Oakey faces Brian Magee in Dublin
Boxer Tony Oakey faces Brian Magee at Dublin's Point Depot on Saturday and the bout will be recorded in history as the first British title fight to take place outside UK territory.
Tony Oakey will be defending his British light heavyweight title against Brian Magee, and he had won the British title in May by stopping Steve Spartacus within 12 rounds.
Brian Magee moved up a weight after losing a British super middleweight title fight against Carl Froch last year.
Both Tony Oakey and Brian Magee feel confident they will win and Tony Oakey said: "It's going to take a special fighter to take it from me and no disrespect but Brian Magee isn't that fighter."
Tony Oakey added: "It doesn't matter if the fight is in Dublin or our back gardens."
However, some Irish bookies have put Brian Magee down as favourite for the historic fight.
