The Cradley super-featherweight takes on the champ in only his second professional fight at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Sunday, after successfully beating Telford's Shaun Walton in his bow on September 12.

The belt may not be on the line but Hanna's reputation certainly will be and Male knows he is there to be shot at.

He said: "It is going to be a massive test but I am ready for it. Tony's stature as champion means that I can really put myself on the map with a win. People will sit up and take notice.

"That is no disrespect to Tony, who I know will be a tough opponent, but I am going for the win. If you don't fight to win, you shouldn't be in there."

The other 'New Chris on the Block,' Mr Lewis, continues his education in professional bout number three against Bki Moyo.

Lewis vanquished the hugely experienced Peter Buckley when debuting alongside Male on September 12. While Male has been inactive since, Lewis went on to compete at the Holiday Inn in Birmingham on October 6.

The Wolverhampton light-welterweight took on Kristian Laight and, again, he got the duke.

All which sets up him nicely for the 'Crunchtime at Lunchtime' and Lewis is in confident mood.

He said: "I am fit and ready to go. I have training very hard and will be ready on Sunday. So far, so good for me in my career and I am to make a hat-trick against Bki.

"Everybody is excited to be a part of Sunday's show and I am no different."
