Martin Kristjansen has promised a performance worthy of a Viking warrior when he tackles Amir Khan in Bolton on Saturday night.
The fight will be screened live on ITV1 at 9.15 - and Kristjansen says he will become a star by defeating his 21-year-old opponent in front of a prime time audience.
The fight is a WBO world title eliminator, with both Khan and Kristjansen ranked in the governing body's top five.
The WBO Intercontinental Lightweight Title will be on the line at the Bolton Arena.
"Believe me, the Vikings are coming," said the Dane during a media workout today, during which he looked sharp and focussed. "My friend Mikkel Kessler lost to Joe Calzaghe in November, but I'll be making up for that when I defeat Khan.
"Amir Khan is the golden boy of British boxing but I'm going to put a dent in his world title hopes on Saturday night. I'm fighting for the whole of my country and I believe I'll expose Khan. I've never felt so confident ahead of a fight. Training has gone really well, and I'm in great shape.
"I'm desperate to become a world champion, and I'm going to take a massive step towards that on Saturday."
