Mikkel Kessler says negative tactics from Joe Calzaghe won't prevent him unifying the super-middleweight division at the Millennium Stadium on November 3 - by knockout.
Kessler will look to add Calzaghe's WBO and Ring titles to his WBC and WBA belts in Cardiff, and says he is preparing for a dirty fight in front of the Welshman's home crowd.
"I'm worried that Calzaghe will use spoiling tactics to try and disrupt me," said 28-year-old Kessler, who boasts a 39-0 (29) record.
"So I´ll obviously have to take him on the hardest way of all and beat him inside the distance.
"Calzaghe is going to use every effort and any trick to avoid fighting toe to toe.
"From first bell I´ll be prepared to fight him on the inside, and if it gets rough, so be it.
"Calzaghe´s got a good chin and I expect it to take my first punch my second - but take my word for it, the third one will make him to stagger, and the fourth will stop him...and the fight as well!"
Meanwhile Calzaghe, 43-0 (32), will meet the press later this week in London.
The fight is screened live in American on HBO, and live in the UK on Setanta Sports.
Tickets for the show, priced between £40 and £500, are available from See Tickets: 0870 060 3794, Ticketmaster: 0870 602 1122 and Ticketline: 08700 667799.
