Francis Jeffers vs. David Thompson as Merseyside derby turns to boxing

In what promises to be another Merseyside derby for the ages, former players from either side of the Liverpool/Everton divide are preparing to square off in a charity boxing match.

The fight will see Francis Jeffers representing Everton in a heavyweight match-up against former Liverpool midfielder David Thompson at the Camp and Furnace charity show later this year.

The duel was announced on Twitter by former WBU featherweight world champion (and lifelong Liverpool fan) Derry Mathews.
