Adam Azim believes he will put on a “masterclass” against Franck Petitjean on Saturday night as he fights to win the Frenchman’s European super lightweight belt.
The pair go at it in Wolverhampton live on Saturday night and if Azim wins he could look towards a world belt of some kind, as he looks to stay undefeated.
35-year-old Petitjean has plenty of experience to his name, but out of 33 fights he has six defeats and three draws, alongside 24 victories.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Azim was confident.
"He's going to know the speed and the power, he's not going to come forward to me," he said. "He knows what it feels like to lose as well. He's going to have that mindset where he doesn't want to lose again. Saturday night I'm going to make him lose again.
"If he comes forward it's a big mistake. At the start if he comes forward it's a truly big mistake. If he walks into one he's definitely going to feel it.
"I don't see what tactic he's got to beat me. The only tactic he's got is probably to get into my mindset but my mindset's really focused.
"If you have a great mindset the fight will be good," he added. "I'm very focused, very, very focused.
He then compared the level of dominance he will show to that of Floyd Mayweather vs. Arturo Gatti, saying: "I want to show a great masterclass on Saturday night, it's going to be Arturo Gatti versus Mayweather. It's going to be like that."
