Ben Whittaker believes he has faced tougher tests in the amateur game than his upcoming battle with Liam Cameron this weekend.
The fight is part of a huge card that is headlined by Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol's encounter, as well as the British heavyweight showdown between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke.
Talking at the open workout session on Wednesday, Whittaker stated that he doesn't believe Cameron will be his toughest opponent and clarified his comments whilst speaking to DAZN.
He said: "On paper, it is, but I truly believe I've been tried and tested in my amateur game.
"Of course, the pros are different, people say, but I just think I've come across that style many, many times."

Whittaker has been all about the showmanship in the build to the fight, and gave nothing away during the open workout sessions. However, he has promised that the true boxer in him will come out when that bell rings on Saturday night.
Adding: "I said it the face-off, in the press conference, everything I'm showing it now is because I'm allowed to show it. You don't win Olympic medals hopping on one leg, I'm a true boxer. If I have to watch that style, I don't like it; I like true boxing. The Pernell Whitaker Whittakers, the Salvador Sanchezs, the list goes on.
"For me, I'm a true boxer at heart. But if I can get away with hopping on one leg, why not?"
