Deontay Wilder has vowed to knock out Tyson Fury and surpass his idol Muhammed Ali in the heavyweight division.
The two are meeting for the second time this weekend after the first fight ended in a draw last year.
“It will be an amazing feeling, my 11th consecutive defence,” said Wilder.
Speaking to the 5 Live Boxing with Costello & Bunce podcast, he added: “It was a basic plan for me to get into boxing, become a journeyman and make a few dollars for my daughter.
“I never thought about being heavyweight champion of the world and being tied with my idol Ali.
“Once I’ve beaten Fury with a devastating knockout, I will go on even further to break the record and do more amazing things.”
