Shelly Finkel, co-manager of heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder, is fully backing his boxer to get revenge over WBC world champion Tyson Fury.
Last week, Wilder received the news that he was successful in his arbitration to force a third meeting with Fury.
In February of 2020, Fury dominated and stopped Wilder in seven rounds to capture the WBC title.
Wilder would then exercise the immediate rematch clause.
After several delays, Fury and his handlers deemed the rematch clause as being expired.
Wilder began a legal action to enforce the rematch clause - with an arbitrator ruling in his favor.
The trilogy fight, which derailed a planned August unification between Fury and Anthony Joshua, is targeted to take place on July 24 in Saudi Arabia.
Wilder almost knocked Fury out in their first encounter, in December 2018.
Fury was down twice in that fight, including a brutal knockdown in the twelfth where Fury appeared to be out cold - only to beat the count and finish the bout. The contest ended in a controversial split draw.
This time around, Finkel expects Wilder to close the show.
"He [Wilder] mentally is great," Finkel told Sky Sports. "He wants this more than anything and he's putting in the time and training, and all that's needed to get it.
"He also has a lot of skills that he hasn't shown recently. Like he says, 'They need 12 rounds, I need two seconds,' and I think you'll see someone prepared for 12 rounds. Without a doubt [Wilder can become world No 1]. Look, it's debatable if he had knocked out Fury the first time. A lot of people thought it was a longer count.
"I wouldn't, if I was the ref [Jack Reiss], seeing that knockdown, have continued the fight. Okay, Fury did okay, and he was fine. If Deontay had hit him with another big shot at that point, it also may have been very serious.
"He is definitely capable. Again, no excuses, he wasn't the Deontay we know in that second fight and we'll be looking to surprise the world. We're not really that surprised if it happens, but everyone else will and I honestly believe Deontay is going to stop him this time.
"That would be the obvious next goal [undisputed fight with Joshua], but we can't even think there. We have to focus totally on this fight. This is what is in front of him. This is what's important and this is what Deontay's goal is. Nothing will be bigger than this, even if he were to then go on and defeat Joshua. This is the biggest thing for him."
