The 22-year-old British blade runner got the better of Browne in the T44 100 metres final at London 2012, sprinting to victory in front of an 80,000 strong home crowd.

He then beat him again at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Championships in Lyon in 2013 but Browne now holds the world record of 10.75sec and is on a two-year unbeaten streak.

Browne beat Peacock at the Anniversary Games in London in July and both athletes are gearing up for the World Championships in Doha next month and then Rio 2016 next summer.

"The T44 100m in Doha is going to be a big race but it’s a very similar situation to Lyon in 2013," said Peacock.

"I went there with Richard having a good season, running fast times and even breaking the world record in the heats.

"But I know that when it gets to the final I’m going to be on point.

"I know I can raise my game when it comes to a major championship.

"I’m not one to back down when the going gets tough."

Peacock was five-years-old when he contracted meningococcal septicaemia and lost his right leg below the knee, but that has not stopped him from becoming a world-beating sprinter.

He trains at the British Athletics National Performance Institute in Loughborough, under the direction of sprints coach Steve Fudge, in an elite group that also includes European 100m champion James Dasaolu, European 200m champion Adam Gemili and former world youth 100m champion Asha Philip.

"Time has moved on since the 2012 Paralympics," said Peacock.

"I’ve been there and done that.

"I’ve got to think about the future.

"We’ve got the IPC World Championships in Doha later this year, then Rio, then the World Championships in London in 2017.

"So there is still a future to be had in athletics.

"I want to be part of that, and hopefully I will be."

Also in the field in the T44 100m at the Great CityGames will be Germany’s world junior champion Felix Streng and Italy’s Emanuele Di Marino.
