War is on the horizon for Curtis Woodhouse and Jason Cook, as the two hard-hitting light-welterweights prepare for a 10-round showdown in November.
Considered two of the most exciting boxers in Britain, Woodhouse and Cook meet in Rotherham on November 26 with former WBC world light-middleweight title challenger Ryan Rhodes part of the bill.
Rhodes, 34, won the European light-middleweight title in October 2009 and earlier this year challenged Mexican superstar Saul Alvarez for his version of the world championship.
Despite coming up short that night in Mexico, Rhodes has every intention of coming back even stronger than before.
Headliner Woodhouse, meanwhile, is just delighted to be facing a mirror-image of himself on November 26.
"The show is titled 'War' and I don't think you could come up with a better name for my fight with Jason Cook," said Woodhouse, a former professional footballer now making waves in the boxing game.
"This will be an old-fashioned war between two guys who come to the ring with similar intentions. We both practice the art of hands up, chin down and bombs away and neither of us stop throwing leather until our hand is raised at the bout's conclusion. I don't see that changing on November 26.
"This fight can't be anything but a classic. Neither of us are exactly Willie Pep in there, so I predict all-out warfare from the first bell onwards."
The 31-year-old Woodhouse was once a million pound star for Birmingham City and Sheffield United, but now plies his trade in the boxing ring, a transition which has tested the Driffield man's resolve and dedication to the maximum.
Fighting his way through scepticism to begin with, Woodhouse now stands as one of the most exciting and respected 10-stone fighters in the country.
A professional fighter since 2006, Woodhouse has flourished in the ring, despite boasting no amateur bouts to his name, and won the hearts of the boxing world with a gutsy display against former World Amateur Champion Frankie Gavin in July.
Despite conceding experience, weight and natural talent to his younger foe, Woodhouse silenced the doubters and pushed Gavin all the way, losing a contentious split-decision at the conclusion of 12 rounds.
His opponent, Maesteg mauler Jason 'The Power' Cook, is a man that has lived up to his nickname on more than one occasion.
He shocked the world in 2002 when travelling to Italy to knock out European lightweight champion Sandro Casamonica in two rounds, and then twice successfully defended that crown, most notably against Stefano Zoff, the seasoned Italian veteran.
Cook also won an IBO version of the world title in 2003, when he defeated Ariel Mariano Olveira inside seven rounds at home in Wales.
Now 36, Cook currently competes as a light-welterweight, but has seemingly lost none of his power and drive.
He worked his way towards a British title shot in July and, while champion Ashley Theophane got the better of him down the stretch, displayed plenty of spirit and excitement in the process.
Keen to right the wrongs and receive a second chance, Cook knows that an explosive victory over Woodhouse on November 26 will open many more doors for him in 2012.
