DARREN 'Dazzo' Williams is limbering up for the biggest fight of his career tonight.
The 31-year-old Hereford boxer tackles reigning champion Nicky Cook for the European and Commonwealth featherweight title.
Williams will be underdog against the impressive holder Cook who has won all his previous 24 bouts.
The Dagenham fighter is on home turf tonight at Goresbrook Leisure Centre.
But Williams has the Lonsdale belt after three successful defences of the British title.
He is likely to have some backing for the televised bout with around 80 tickets sold to Hereford fight fans.
Williams said: "I shall be going for the win but I respect Nicky Cook as a boxer and I hope he feels the same about me."
