Manchester plays host to a fiercely-anticipated boxing bout this evening, as Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally bring their rivalry to a head.
The pair have been at each other's throats for over a decade, with their rivalry spanning back to their amateur days.
Khan and Brook whet the appetite in the week with head-to-head face-offs in the press conference and following the weigh in.
Now, it's all set to come to a head and, with such a fierce rivalry, the betting is extremely close - but it's Khan who finds himself as a narrow underdog.
As shown by Oddschecker, Brook is 4/5 favourite to take the win while Khan is at 6/4 - with a draw given an outside shot at 22/1.
Rounds 7 to 9 are seen as the most likely to be where Brook takes home victory, with the Sheffield fighter 16/1 for triumph in the seventh and eighth, while he's 18/1 for the ninth.
An earlier win from the fourth round is ranked at 20/1, with the same odds for the fifth and sixth, and it's in this breakdown where Khan's perceived status as an underdog is truly shown.
While Khan is 6/4 to win, it's clear the bookies believe his best chance of a win is if the fight goes the distance - as his shortest odds of winning in a round come in the eighth round, priced at 35/1.
While Khan is 6/4 to win, it's clear the bookies believe his best chance of a win is if the fight goes the distance - as his shortest odds of winning in a round come in the eighth round, priced at 35/1.
The same odds are given for a Khan victory in the sixth, seventh and fifth but you can get the same odds for a Brook victory in round one.
Clearly, the general view is that it's Brooks fight to lose and, if the fight isn't to go the distance, he's seen as the man most likely to bring the contest to an early finish.
