Matty Askin insists he shouldn’t be written off ahead of his big fight in Poland this weekend.
The Blackpool star (14-1) faces a daunting task when he challenges Krzysztof Glowacki for the IBO intercontinental cruiserweight crown in Warsaw on Saturday night.
Askin said: “I am not bothered by having to travel overseas and there is less pressure than fighting at home. Few people are expecting me to win so I am flying over there and just looking forward to the experience.
“He has stopped most of his opponents, but it doesn’t worry me and I am going over to take the belt from him and give Blackpool another champion.
“It is going to be a great fight and this is a chance I must take with both hands to get into the world title picture.”
Glowacki (17-0) said: “I expect a tough fight and I cannot see a quick fight. Askin is fast, but I feel I am much better. I have to box him and mix my combinations well.”
