Maloney said: “They are both every good young fighters and ambitious. It is a pick ‘em fight and so hard to pick a winner
“When they were matched against each other neither one of them needed to think about accepting the challenge.
“I believe they have sparred together often, but what you do on the night in that ring is all that counts.
“I hope that whoever wins will get a crack at Chris Edwards for the British because they will have earned that Lonsdale belt chance.”
