Alex Arthur says he will be cheering on British rival Michael Gomez when he takes on Eric Odumasi for the vacant WBU super-featherweight belt next week. A shock defeat could scupper a rematch between Gomez and Arthur, who went toe-to-toe in a thriller last October.
And Arthur, who knocked out Michael Kizza in one round on Saturday, is desperate to avenge his loss to Gomez.
"I'm hoping he wins because I don't think there is a fight in Britain that anyone would rather watch than us two."

Arthur is not taking the rematch for granted, however.
"Gomez has got a hard fight next week," he said.
"Odumasi put up a good fight against Scott Harrison, even though he was behind on points before Scott battered him at the end.
"It would be disastrous if he lost - I would be in tears and obviously it would look really bad on my behalf if he got beat, but I don't imagine he will.
"There are great fights to be made and I think me and him is a natural fight with both our characters, our followings and with what happened in the last fight."
