Ireland's Steve Collins the former W.B.O Super Middle Weight Champion of the World will be guest of honour at the weigh in of the Dixon v Barakat fight and will be presenting the winner on the night with the W.B.U SMW World title belt in the picture above.

In his day Collins beat some of the all time greats of the British fight scene like Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in the same Super Middle Weight division.

Now retired and reminiscing of his glory days he entertains people around the World with public speeches to dinner guests talking about his time in the ring as World Champion which is where his friend James 'Jap' Kavanagh a fellow Irishman now living in Malta and the rest of the 'Positive Promotion' team who are hosting the Dixon v Barakat fight caught up with him along with fellow boxer Jim Rock to negotiate bringing him to Malta.

Having the 'Celtic Warrior' supporting the fight and presenting the winner with the title belt is a great boost to the prestige of what is at stake on the night.

The title of being W.B.U SMW Champion of the World.

With all eyes watching does Barakat the K1 Champion have what it takes to keep a hold of the title belt when faced with "Super" Scott Dixon in his come back fight to the pro-ring?
