A long-awaited 110m hurdles duel between Chinese Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang and four-time world champion Allen Johnson will take place at the outdoor athletics meeting here on Saturday.

Liu equalled the world record of 12.91 second since winning gold at last year's Athens Olympics, while Johnson, the 1996 Olympic gold medalist, fell in the quarter-finals.

There should have been a showdown between them at the Prefontaine Classic IAAF Grand Prix meeting last Saturday but it failed to materialize when Johnson was disqualified for a false start from the race that Liu went on to win in 13.06 seconds.
