Confident Deniz Ilbay says he has "picked out a few weaknesses" in Lewis Crocker's armoury ahead of their clash this weekend.
Belfast boxer Crocker will defend his WBO European welterweight title against German Ilbay on Friday night at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Ilbay (22-2, 10 KOs) has previously gone the distance with former world title challenger Egidijus Kavaliauskas and believes he has the tools to test unbeaten Crocker.
"We looked at a few fights from Crocker and we picked out a few weaknesses that he has got. I’m not going to reveal them just yet, I will show them to everyone on March 12th," Ilbay said.
"This is the toughest fight of his career so far, and I'm pretty positive that with a win here my entire team from First to Fight Management and Team Ilbay Boxing can make big things happen in 2021.
"There is a huge year ahead, but I have learned in my career to never look further than your upcoming fight, so I'm just focused on Lewis Crocker."
Elsewhere on the big MTK Fight Night on Friday, unbeaten Irish lightweight Gary Cully squares off with Viktor Kotochigov for the vacant WBO European title.
Isaac Lowe returns, while Jordan Reynolds makes his professional debut against Robbie Chapman. Sahir Iqbal is back in action, Carl Fail enters the paid ranks for the first time against undefeated Jordan Dujon, and Mace Ruegg meets Johnson Tellez.
