The lightweight, nicknamed 'Boom Boom', takes on the Australian world title challenger at the Hull Arena, live on Sky Sports 2.

Coyle's last fight in his hometown saw an amazing eight knockdowns and with Katsidis known for his knockout power, the local man is expecting the pair of them to produce another brutal battle.

"I am not going to change too much, I'm going to go out and put on a show and I am not going to take a backward step," Coyle told this week's Toe 2 Toe podcast.

"Everyone's in for an absolutely cracking night.
