Hull's own Tommy Coyle says he wants to make history for his city by producing its first British champion on July 30, when he fights for the Super-Lightweight title live on Sky Sports 1 HD.
Coyle clashes with Tyrone Nurse - his old amateur foe - in his second fight at this weight, having made the move from Lightweight in May.
The 26-year-old also wants to win the Lord Lonsdale belt for his son on what is expected to be a huge occasion at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on Saturday week.
Coyle said: "I feel brilliant at Super-Lightweight. I've been 9st 9lbs since I was 16 years old. When Tyrone and I boxed as amateurs, I was 9st 9lbs then - and that was 10 years ago.
"That extra five pounds on fight night is going to be a huge difference. I don't have to take it off in the last week so I think I will be a completely different animal, and you'll see the difference in the fight.
"It's the prettiest belt out there and it's every young fighter's dream to fight for the British belt. It holds a lot of credibility and I'm really excited to be fighting for it, so I'll be leaving everything in the ring on July 30.
"This is for my little boy - I want him to be able to say that his Dad was British champion. I've been in some great fights - exciting and memorable fights - but I want that silverware to show for it.
"Hull has never had a British champion either, so it would be nice to be a part of history and become the first. There is a lot to play for and I am in a good place."
