British fighter Frazer Clarke concedes that Fabio Wardley has got under his skin “at times” ahead of their title fight on March 31.
The British and Commonwealth titles will be up for grabs at the end of the month in a fight shown live on Peacock in the US (click here for details).
Wardley and Clarke have been at odds over the past few weeks in the build-up to the clash, and both are putting undefeated records on the line when they meet.
"You can never rob me of everything I've got. Win, lose or draw this fight, what I've got is my own legacy already in my opinion. I'm in a very small circle of people who have achieved certain things in boxing," Clarke said to Sky Sports.
"But for him to say that he's going to knock me out...he has his past fights to go on but I don't believe he's fought anyone like me, with the brain, the heart or the desire, who really wants to win. I'm not a show pony. This isn't for show.
"I'm not bothered about the ring walks, I'm not bothered about fight week, I'm not even bothered about the kit. They asked me 'what kit do you want?' and I just said 'chuck me something together, give a couple of colours and that was it'.
"I don't need a social media crew following me around with pictures and cameras. It might end up getting done but it has nothing to do with me. All I'm focused on is winning and bringing the titles back."
Clarked admitted that Wardley had got under his skin, “At times. He's good at what he does. The social media posts, he's very good at.
“He's got his little nerdy team behind him that follow him with a camera and make his little reel for him, which make him look a lot better on the reels than he does in real life.”
