Derek "Del Boy" Chisora is promising an explosive debut showing - and says he'll make his domestic rivals look like plonkers.
The 23-year-old heavyweight prospect, who won the 2005 ABA Super-Heavyweight title and also scooped a Four Nations gold, has his first professional outing on February 17 at Wembley Arena.
He tackles Istvan Kecskes over four rounds, but is already dreaming of bigger things.
"When I started boxing I went for the ABAs and I was on a mission and right now the mission is to become British and Commonwealth and after that I'll step it up," he said in an exclusive interview with www.frankwarren.tv
"It's all about my boxing to the best of my ability and then leaving it to the big boys like Frank Warren and Dean Powell."
Chisora, who combines fast hands with a powerful KO punch, was also dismissive of the fighters currently at the top of the domestic tree.
"What talent?" he asked to comment on the likes of Matt Skelton, Audley Harrison and Scott Gammer,"
"I don't want to be a bragger but I'm going to take the show off Audley Harrison,"
"I'll be there on the same night taking all the spotlight!"
The February 17 show, titled England Expects, will be screened live on ITV1 and is headlined by Audley Harrison's EU heavyweight title challenge against Michael Sprott. Amir Khan, Ross Minter, Eddie Corcoran, Derek Chisora, Grant Skehill, Tommy Saunders, Robin Deakin and Vinny Mitchell are all in action.
