The vacant British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles will be on the line when Brown (6-0, 6 KOs) boxes the undefeated John Hedges (12-0, 3 KOs) at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, live on DAZN.

It is expected to be the first of many headline appearances for the Mancunian who has been groomed for the moment since he turned professional after the 2024 Olympic Games.

It's also assumed Brown will spend the majority of his career campaigning at world title level, galvanizing an army of fans, and doing it all in swashbuckling style.

That's a lot of weight for a 26-year-old with only six professional fights under his belt. Fortunately he isn’t shouldering it alone.

“There's a lot of pressure on us all,” Brown’s trainer Jamie Moore told The Ring.

“Everyone agrees he's one of the best prospects in the world. When that's the case, then you've got a lot of eyes on you. We've got to make sure we do the job right, which I hope we are doing.”

Brown has a long association with Moore’s gym.

He won a National Amateur Championship while training with Moore’s long-time assistant Nigel Travis at the Moss Side Fire Station Boxing Club. After that, he naturally gravitated to Moore’s professional gym as his career in the unpaid ranks wound down.

Moore likes working with aggressive boxers like Brown and has always been confident he has the ability to succeed. Having spent two years working with him day in, day out, he is also sure he has the mindset to deal with the expectations placed on him.

“I think his personality is going to stand him in better stead than it would do anyone else,” Moore said.

“If you're the type of person who is influenced by people's comments on social media or everyone telling you how great you are and you take that on board and inflate your ego then, at some point, it's going to come and bite you on the arse. I think he's got the perfect balance of understanding how good he is but also not getting carried away with it and keeping his feet on the ground.”

During the build-up to Saturday’s fight, both fighters will be praised for facing each other so early in their careers and there will also be promises and reassurances that the loser can come again.

Rebounding from an early career defeat isn’t part of Brown’s plan whatsoever.

Rather than concentrating on the occasion and attention, Brown has remained solely focused on beating Hedges and winning the British title.

“It's not like he's going in there with Hedges not knowing that it's going to be a difficult fight,” Moore said.

“I’m a big believer in Pat Brown. I'm not really concerned about Hedges, even though I do rate him. I think he's a good fighter. He's a very awkward, big, tall, rangy southpaw. No one likes them. But Pat is so well-schooled, he's never really scratched the surface in terms of showing people his whole range of ability, because he's never had to. I'm sure, against Hedges, he's going to have to show a few more strings to his bow but that's all part and parcel of the process.”
