Wladimir Klitschko's legendary trainer Emanuel Steward is enjoying the big-fight atmosphere and the Kronk Gym veteran is expecting fireworks when his boxer faces British rival David Haye at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
"I'm very excited about this fight," he said. "It's a big fight.
"I've been involved in super-fights now for 30 years, since the first between Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard.
"This is leading up to be the second biggest I've been involved in after the Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson fight (in 2002).
"The thing about this fight that makes it this big is that we have two good-looking fighters, their bodies look good - which is a rarity today in the heavyweight division - and also they are in their prime.
"Lennox was my greatest heavyweight and he beat Mike Tyson who had slipped a little bit. Wladimir and David are fighting when they are both in their prime.
"I've just come back from America this weekend and the interest is phenomenal out there. We're not aware of it because we're in training camp but at Atlanta airport, everyone is talking about the fight all over the television.
"The magnitude of it is going to make the fighters perform even above their normal level."
Steward added: "This is the only fight I've known Wladimir be emotionally charged up for since the rematch with Chris Byrd, and that was because Byrd's family said a lot of things. For this fight he is very charged up but still he's been very cool."
