Nathan Cleverly is determined to end his long pursuit of Juergen Braehmer by becoming a two-time world champion on Saturday.
The Welshman (29-3-KO15) lost the WBO world light-heavyweight title to Sergey Kovalev just over three years ago and will take aim at WBA champion Braehmer (48-2-KO35) in Germany - live on Sky Sports.
Cleverly told Sky Sports Boxing: "Five years in the making, this fight. I'm so glad we're finally here now. It's been a difficult fight to make.
"Getting Braehmer into a boxing ring with me has been difficult but here we are and I'm looking to take it with both hands.
"I feel more mature now. I'm 29 and more mature mentally and physically. I feel in a better place and I'm ready for chapter two in my career.
"It's too big an opportunity, this. There were a few options on the table but this is the one I want. The world title on the line, Braehmer with history, five years in the making. I just felt this fight needed to happen.
"I feel ready for it. I'm hungry and let's bring that belt back and become a two-time world champion."
The 37-year-old Braehmer, who has not been defeated since 2008, has fought outside his homeland just once in his entire career.
