Lawrence Okolie expects to regain some of his power now that he is fighting at bridgerweight.
The former WBO cruiserweight world champion is fighting Lukasz Rozanski tonight, with the Polish fighter defending his WBC belt in front of his home country’s supporters.
Okolie’s last fight was a title defeat to Chris Billam-Smith, and a move up in weight takes him onto new challenges.
"I'm coming there to beat their guy," Okolie said to Sky Sports .
"I'm expecting it to be very hostile but I'll just blank it out. If anything, this particular fight is going to fuel me, especially the way I feel like I need to and want to fight."
He added: "He hasn't faced someone of my class and ability but at the end of the day, we don't know what he's capable of until the day.
"The fact is, you're not going to get 14 out of 15 wins by KO unless you have something about you. So I've got to respect him, respect what he's good at and earn the right to stop him.
"I know what he's going to come with, we've seen it 15 times, he goes all out, I'll show him he's in there with a different animal.
"I'm looking forward to the boos and getting in there and getting it done vicious."
Discussing the move up to a new division, he added: "I obviously have my own reasonings behind the change.
"I think a lot of power has been lost in the gym, trying to make that cruiserweight limit.”
