David Haye believes his fight with Enzo Maccarinelli on Saturday is just the start of big things to come in his career - but admits he will have to crack America to make a name for himself on the world stage.
The fight between Ha ye and Mac-carinelli is the biggest domestic battle in over a decade an d the Bermondsey boxer insists he will not crack under the pressure.
Haye, the WBA and WBC champion, said: "Enzo is the best fighter in the world - behind me. The gap between him and me is huge and that will be clearly seen when the bell goes.
"I'm the first fighter he's ever fought that isn't gift-wrapped and he is in for a rude awakening.
"After this I'm going to have to go and fight in the States for the big paydays, but you have to be a known quantity. To do that you have to fight out there and that's what I'll do once I have added Enzo's WBO belt to my collection."
