Heavyweight contender Dominic Breazeale is confident that he can secure a rematch with IBF, IBO, WBO, WBA world champion Anthony Joshua.
But in order to get that rematch, he needs to upset WBC world champion Deontay Wilder on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Breazeale challenged Joshua for the IBF world title back in June of 2016, and suffered a stoppage loss in the seventh round.
That contest is still the only defeat on Breazeale's record, and he's rallied off three victories in a row since.
While Wilder has had severe difficulties in reaching an agreement with Joshua for a unification - Breazeale believes that he can reach an agreement with Joshua in much smoother fashion.
And Joshua will have to do his part on June 1, when he makes his American debut by defending his belts against Andy Ruiz at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
"This is my big bridge to get to my rematch with Joshua," Breazeale told Sky Sports.
"I don't care what anyone says, he's holding the majority of the belts, he's fought the bigger, better calibre guys and he's the guy on top right now. When I get the WBC title, I can only hope and pray that we get a rematch.
"I think the fight between me and AJ is a little bit easier to make, only because of the fact that I've got no problems putting the business, trading stuff on the side, and kind of making it squared away, whereas Wilder thinks he's on his high horse. He thinks he's the heavyweight champion of the world when he's just one of the heavyweight champions.
"Sometimes it's bigger than just the belts, it's what the fans want to see. Sometimes you've got to give the fans what they want to see."
