Dillian Whyte has vowed to prove he is the best heavyweight to hail from south London by knocking out Ian Lewison when the pair meet in Scotland next month.
The Brixton rivals clash for the vacant British title on the undercard of Ricky Burns' WBA super lightweight title defence at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on Friday, October 7, live on Sky Sports.
'The Body Snatcher' suffered a shoulder injury in the thriller with Joshua and has since returned to the ring with back-to-back wins against Ivica Bacurin and Dave Allen to extend his record to 18-1-0.
"I'm going to KO him," said Whyte. "He's dangerous for a couple of rounds, but I'll show him that I'm the best out of south London. I'm the best.
"Ian will get banged out, he is going to try and swing because he's got no other choice.
"There's no friends in this game, boxing is a business and he talks a lot like he's a hardman but he's just a little tramp. He's been around for years and finally got himself a win in China and a top 15 ranking in the WBO, so I want to beat him and take that ranking."
'Lay 'Em Out' Lewison , who was born in east Dulwich but like Whyte resides in Brixton, knocked out Zhi Yu Wu in two rounds in China to win the WBO Asia Pacific title in June.
The 34-year-old warned Whyte that he will provide a more serious test than Allen presented in July.
"Dillian needs to prepare himself to be 100 per cent because I am and I'll be knocking him out," said Lewison.
"Dillian did what he had to do against Allen, but he said before the fight that Dave didn't deserve to be in the ring with him and that he was head and shoulders above Dave.
"I expected him to put it on him and show he was a league above him and take him out. He just sat back and boxed in cruise control for 10 rounds though - he won't be able to do that against me."
Three-weight champion Burns tops the bill in Glasgow against unbeaten mandatory challenger Kiryl Relikh, while Scotty Cardle defends his British lightweight title against Kevin Hooper and Commonwealth Games gold medal favourite Charlie Flynn meets Manchester's Kofi Yates.
