Leo Santa Cruz will look to exploit Carl Frampton's 'weak chin' when the two unbeaten featherweights clash in New York on July 30.
Mexican Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18KOs) - also a world champion at 118 and 122 pounds - defends his WBA world title against the Belfast man, who has moved up to 126lbs from super-bantamweight after his unification title win over Bury's Scott Quigg back in February.
But prior to beating Quigg, Frampton (22-0, 14KOs) was twice put on the floor by Alejandro Gonzalez Jr before battling back to earn a unanimous points win.
"Frampton is a good fighter. He has power and skills and he moves when he has to, but he has a weak chin," said 27-year-old Santa Cruz.
"When he gets caught with a good punch, he goes down. He doesn't like pressure and I have that.
"I'm looking forward to putting on an exciting show at the Barclays Center [in Brooklyn] and I hope I leave with lots of new fans."
Frampton admits he is facing the toughtest test of his career so far as he prepares to box in New York for the first time.
"I am in terrific shape, I feel fantastic in the gym and I am ready for the biggest fight of my career," said Frampton.
"On July 30 I will become a two weight world champion. I respect Leo Santa Cruz, he is a great fighter and person, but I am preparing meticulously to overcome any challenge he brings on July 30.
"It is my first time boxing in New York, where some of the greatest fights have taken place. I know there will be a large number of fans traveling from the UK and Ireland but there is also a huge Irish-American audience and I am eager to show them all what I can do."
