By William Mackay: In a nice little match involving two fringe heavyweight contenders, British heavyweight champion Derek Chisora (13-0, 8 KO’s) will be taking on Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam Sexton (13-1, 6 KO’s) in Frank Warren’s Magnificent Seven card at the LG Arena, Birmingham, West Midlands. Chisora and Sexton have fought previously two years ago in a fight in which Chisora won by a 6th round stoppage in June 2008. Sexton, 26, has improved since then and won his last six fights with two of them coming against Irish cab driver Martin Rogan in 2009.

Will the last one leaving turn the lights out please?
