Dan Azeez has said that legacy motivates him more than money as he prepares to fight Joshua Buatsi this weekend.
The pair of them fight this Saturday at Wembley Arena in a WBA light heavyweight title eliminator (live on Peacock in the US).
The winner will be in line to challenge current WBA champion Dmitry Bivol, but they may first have to wait for his undisputed clash with Artur Beterbiev, which is expected at some point this year.
That would be a huge fight that would likely sell well in Britain, but speaking to Sky Sports, Azeez said that above all else, he wants to build a legacy rather than focus on cash.
"These are the kinds of nights I dreamt about. I didn't turn pro thinking I want to make loads of money. I wanted to write a legacy. I want to achieve something. I wanted to prove to myself,” he said.
"I've just got to be myself, but I just know there's just a drive in me and it shows up on fight night," he said.
"I think that's what's got me to where I am. That just needs to keep shining and prevailing on fight night and that's what's going to keep me going."
He added: "Watching me in the small halls, you wouldn't have envisioned me at the top tier of the ladder.
"Both me and Josh, we're both ranked top in every single governing body. Tell me this five or six years ago, I would never think it. But I'm here now.
"These are the nights where I get the emotions, when I'm someone else. I can't replicate it, this kind of feeling. So, to be able to experience this in its natural form is amazing.
"We're here. I'm happy to be here and I'm looking forward to the fight. Saturday couldn't come any quicker."
