Ezra Arenyeka believes he has what it takes to stop the show-boating unbeaten run of British light heavyweight Ben Whittaker.
The two fight on June 15 ( live on Peacock in the US ), and Arenyeka believes he will be a step-up in quality over his prospective opponent’s previous rivals.
Whittaker boasts a 7-0 record but has made his name across social media with his showboating performances, leading some to criticise him for arrogance.
Arenyeka is one of those.
"Ben Whittaker, in his last few fights, has always showboated and acted silly in the ring in my opinion. As a fighter, I've not appreciated that behaviour," Arenyeka told Sky Sports .
"Also, right now in our careers we're the same level and he's the biggest fish to fry for me - so I'm here to fry him.
"That's why I've called him out and did what I did at the press conference. Here I am today and hopefully the fight can be signed and we can get going."
He warned: "Every good boxer with rhythm can showboat… in my amateur days I used to showboat a lot, but I stopped for a reason, because I've grown as a fighter.
"Obviously he is still acting like a little diva, like a little kid in the ring, so he is not grown yet.
"If he tries to do that with me, I will show him the level and make him look silly. That's just the honest truth… he is going to get caught with my strong right and I'll knock him out."
'The African King' is 12-0 in his professional career with 10 wins coming via knockout. He intends on Whittaker being the 11th.
"I'm going to come with a lot of heart. I'm a warrior. I'm not going to back down," he continued.
"He is quick, but he's not got power.
"And I'll bring pure entertainment, man. The boxing fans on June 15 are in for a treat. It's something they are not going to want to miss because this is history right here - the mystery man that upset Ben Whittaker. That's going to be the headline."
