With the year coming to a close, boxing has given us an extra special festive gift: Canelo Alvarez, seeking a title in a fourth category, faces the undefeated super-middleweight champion Callum Smith.
At stake is the vacant WBC belt and the fight stands out for the quality of both boxers and their difference in stature.
Smith stands at 1.91m, while his Mexican opponent is a mere 1.73m, a true David and Goliath battle.
There will be no rehydration clause either, meaning that the fighters can increase their weight as much as they like after the weigh-in.
For a figure like British boxer Smith, that could be a considerable amount.
Nevertheless, this encounter is incredibly tough to call and looks set to be one of the most fascinating fights in many years.
