Tony Bellew says he will enjoy 'sizing himself' up against Deontay Wilder when they meet at ringside for Anthony Joshua's world title fight with Wladimir Klitschko.
Joshua faces Klitschko in a heavyweight unification clash at Wembley on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and Bellew will be joined by WBC champion Wilder as part of the Sky Sports team.
Bellew confirmed he will continue his career last weekend and has set his sights on a rematch with David Haye, or a world title fight with either Wilder or WBO titleholder Joseph Parker.
"Deontay is going to be in the building. I'll enjoy sizing myself up against him," said Bellew. "This could be like Wrestlemania.
Asked about a possible heated confrontation, Bellew said: "We'll see. He's definitely not the biggest heavyweight in the world, he definitely hits very hard though.
"I'm not one of these guys who slates his record. His record, in my opinion, is brilliant. He is very, very powerful, he's beaten former heavyweight champions. He has smashed many people.
"He's a big, long smashing machine, cricket. That is the way I will approach him, that's what he is. He is like a massive, dangerous cricket."
The Merseysider admits he has already been linked with a Las Vegas bout, but would prefer to fight again in a stadium after winning the WBC cruiserweight belt at Goodison Park last May.
"Wembley appeals more to me than Vegas," said Bellew. "An outdoor arena does appeal more to me than Vegas.
"I have heard talk that I'm wanted in America. There is talk that Vegas would like me over there, because of the movie, because of the way my story has gone.
"It's like I'm some kind of real life Rocky story, but I will be totally honest, a big outdoor arena whets my appetite more than Vegas does."
