Peter Manfredo Jr is expecting a "war" when he faces Sakio Bika for the vacant IBO Super Middleweight Championship on Thursday night.
The 27-year-old has won his last three fights following a unanimous points defeat to Jeff Lacy in December last year.
"I'm very focused and determined. Since the Lacy fight, I've become hungry, more mature and I'm on the right track. I know this fight is going to be a war," he said.
"Anybody who has seen Bika knows he comes to fight and this is going to be a helluva fight. I'm not backing down - this is for the IBO title - and Bika's not backing down.
"I'm real strong, real sharp. I don't think anybody can beat me when I'm like this. If he does, he's the better man. It's going to be a great night."
