Lee Selby believes victory over Viorel Simion in Hull on Saturday night will prove he can mix it with the best featherweights in the world.
Selby has been in sparkling form this year, starting with his win over Martin Lindsay in Belfast in February before despatching rugged Australian Corey McConnell inside five rounds in Blackpool in May.
The Welshman's promoter Eddie Hearn believes Selby is destined to become a world champion, and the 26-year-old says he has to prove that he is ready to move up to challenge the best in the division.
"This is a big step up in class from all my previous opponents, so we will see how good I really am," said Selby, who challenges for the WBC International title on the big Hull show.
