Martin Murray will go down in history if he defeats middleweight Sergio Martinez in his own back yard on Saturday night, according to his promoter and fellow Briton Ricky Hatton.
Murray goes into his bout with the WBC and Lineal champion in Buenos Aires as a firm underdog, not only due to his opponent's fearsome record but also because Martinez will be fighting on home soil.
Martinez has tasted defeat only once in his last 36 outings, although a highly controversial points loss against fellow southpaw Paul Williams in December 2009 was avenged by a savage one-punch knockout win in their re-match a year later.
He has since gone on to defeat Darren Barker and Matthew Macklin and will be looking for a hat-trick of victories over British opposition when he takes on Murray this evening.
