Stuart Hall has reignited his feud with Lee Haskins ahead of their world title showdown this weekend.
Hall will challenge for Haskins' IBF bantamweight championship, a belt he once owned himself, on Saturday's Sky Sports Box Office undercard to Gennady Golovkin vs Kell Brook.
To add fuel to the fire, Haskins holds a previous victory over his rival and Hall concedes their animosity runs deep.
I think he's quite a jealous person and that gets you nowhere in this world.
"I just don't like his personality," Hall exclusively told Sky Sports. "There's just something about him.
"It's the way he talks. He bad-mouthed me - when I won the world title he said I was this, and I was that. When he won the world title, I sent his trainer a message saying 'fair play'.
"I think he's quite a jealous person and that gets you nowhere in this world. I see people do good and I'm happy for them."
Hall (20-4 KO7) is aiming to avenge a 2012 points defeat to Haskins (33-3 KO14), a contest that was fought at European level before either became world champion.
The challenger believes he has spotted the 32-year-old Haskins' speed deteriorating, and plans to take advantage.
"Four years ago he was a bit quicker than he is now, and I'm twice the fighter," said Hall.
"He's skilful and he's awkward but if you take the awkwardness away from him, he's pretty basic. He's going to get bashed up.
"He's quite cocky, isn't he? So it would be nice to get one over on him. I've got a few things up my sleeve, know what I mean?"
