Ohara Davies says his critics have given him added motivation to produce a knockout victory over Derry Mathews.
The Hackney fighter will put his unbeaten record at risk when he battles the dangerous Mathews on the David Haye-Tony Bellew bill at The O2 on March 4, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
A social media feud between the duo set the scene for their grudge fight and Davies admits he encounters criticism on a regular basis.
But the 25-year-old insists he is spurred on by his doubters and has vowed to deliver an emphatic victory over the Merseysider next month.
Davies' domestic clash with Mathews is part of an exciting undercard for Haye-Bellew.
Sam Eggington faces the sternest examination of his credentials against former two-weight world champion Paulie Malignaggi, while Katie Taylor returns to action in her third professional bout.
