Sheffield v Doncaster: Women's boxing grudge match
Sheffield's Sam Lightfoot has shrugged off jibes that she is merely a "tippy-tappy" boxer - and plans to make Doncaster rival Billy Jarmolinski pay for the insult.
The pair will meet to decide who takes home the Central Area bantamweight belt in a derby duel at Doncaster Dome on November 7.
There has been animosity between them in the past, and they will settle their differences in the ring at a Bateson Promotions event.
Both came through the local amateur scene at the same time - Lightfoot, now 24, beat Jarmolinski, 23, in a Yorkshire championship final - and have similar records.
But Sam, with a professional record of 4-0-0, insists she has too much class, boxing IQ and variety for Billy, who is 5-0-0.
The Doncaster fighter will have home advantage though and is a determined adversary.
Billy made the "tippy-tappy" remark earlier this year, implying the Sheffielder has no power.
"I can't wait to show her she was wrong" says Sam, a former Springs Academy pupil, who lives in Sheffield city centre.
"I know she said that and there has been some back and forth but that is the nature of the game.
"For me, it's all about getting the job done and getting a belt - it's been a long time coming."
Sam, who has been boxing for 10 years, says she has endured a testing camp, sparring with the likes of former world champion Ebanie Bridges, who trains at the Ingle gym, and Polish fighters Sylwia Doligala and Jasmina Zapotoczna.
"It's been good, but a very hard camp" says the Manor Boxing Academy fighter, who is managed by Doncaster's Dave Allen.
"Ebanie has a similar style to Billy and the whole campaign has put me through my paces.
"We have an idea of how she will come out from the first bell. I am more than ready for her- I can adapt to any style.
"I can box on the back foot or go toe-to-toe. By any means necessary, I am going to win," said the Sheffielder.
"Apparently she doesn't like me, which is fair enough.
"She thinks I am arrogant - but she is mistaking arrogance for confidence.
"I will be her worst nightmare. Winning the Central Area title means a lot. It will give me a foot in the door to the next stage of my career and help me get noticed."
