Harry Carpenter, direct from the Aston Villa Football Ground, introduces coverage of tonight's important title fight.

Jack Bodell (Swadlincote) Champion of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, v
Danny McAlinden (Coventry) The Challenger

The fantastic local support for these two fighters is the reason for promoter Alex Griffiths staging for the first time in a number of years an open-air title fight on one of the most historic football grounds in the country.

Jack Bodell, the champion, who won the titles from Joe Bugner last year and holds victories over Carl Gizzi, Manuel Ramos and Bill Drover, is used to going the full distance and winning. Bodell, a man well known for coming forward and making the action - who will forget his great fight with Billy Walker? - meets tonight an opponent who also likes to make the running.
Danny McAlinden has a reputation for stopping his men inside the distance.
