Great Britain vs Mexico: A tale of two nations looking for boxing supremacy
A look into some of the biggest fights between the two countries involved, including Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera and Anthony Joshua.
It's fair to say Eddie Hearn has had a mixed experience when it comes to putting his stable up against Mexican fighters.
The Matchroom mogul has continued his love affair with Mexico, teaming up with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Eddy Reynoso for a four-fight Mexican series, the first event starts on June 26 in Guadalajara.
To celebrate some of the biggest names in the game, Planet Sport has looked back at some memorable British vs Mexican match-ups from years gone by.
Prince Naseem Hamed vs Marco Antonio Barrera - April 2001, MGM Grand Garden Arena, Paradise, Nevada - Lineal featherweight title, vacant IBO featherweight title

Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz 1 - June 2019 - Madison Square Garden, New York City - WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles
Ricky Hatton vs Jose Luis Castillo - June 2007 - Thomas & Mack Center, Paradise, Nevada - IBO and Ring light-welterweight titles, vacant WBC International light-welterweight title
Boxer Ricky Hatton, of England, is introduced before his junior welterweight boxing match against Jose Luis Castillo
Hatton, sporting an unforgettable Sombrero during his Mexican themed ring entrance, was defending his IBO and Ring light-welterweight titles and unbeaten record against the vastly experienced Castillo.
Despite having seven losses on his record, Castillo - who had gone the distance with Floyd Mayweather five years before - was still considered a threat to Hatton's dominance in the 140 lb division.
However, Hatton, five years Castillo's junior, made quick work of the shop-worn Mexican, stopping him in the fourth stanza with a deadly and incapacitating left hook to the liver.
The punishing punch left the Empalme native gasping for air, as he failed to beat Joe Cortez's count of 10.
Scott Harrison vs Juan Manuel Medina 2 - November 2003, Braehead Arena, Glasgow - WBO featherweight title
A now disgraced figure in Scottish boxing, Scott Harrison gained revenge in this fight having lost to the experienced Manuel Medina in Glasgow just six months earlier.
A five-time featherweight world champion, Medina had deservedly scored a split decision victory in the first of their two bouts held in the summer of 2003.
