With Kell Brook and Tyson Fury fighting on the latest Sky Sports Box Office bill, who better to start the countdown than Carl Froch?
Well, this one's going to be fun!
Tyson Fury taking on Wladimir Klitschko is certainly going to be exciting long before that bell sounds and it is an interesting fight for sure. As for Kell Brook taking on Diego Chaves, I have a feeling we are going to see Kell really put on a show.
These are two British fighters with plenty of fans and nights like these do not come around that often. I've been there and there is nothing like a pay-per-view night, and fight week.
It is something else and it almost becomes a different world for those days counting down to the fight. All the media, all the interviews, it is not always fun but it gets everyone going - and this won't be any different.
Right now, I am enjoying retirement and am happy with my decision but I wouldn't be surprised if when this build-up starts to kick in, I will miss it. Still, I am now enjoying watching it from the other side of the ropes.
For all his faults, Fury is big, strong and game and that's what Klitschko needs in front of him to cause him problems. David Haye's biggest problem was he was just too small. Out of the ring it didn't matter but it did on fight night. Fury can match him on both side of the ropes.
Love him or hate him, you are always talking about Tyson Fury. He sells himself well are that's his game and he knows what he's doing. You've got to give him respect.
Kell Brook will put himself under pressure but he is the sort of guy that rises to that pressure. As for Tyson Fury... we'll find out!
I actually spent eight weeks with him in County Mayo back in 2008, training for my first world title fight and I like him. His family were there and he is a nice kid.
I am not sure he'll be able to wind Klitschko up, although we know he's going to try!
He might make Klitschko cautious, but the fact he always fights that way shows just how hard this is going to be for Fury. But as I said, we have a British heavyweight who matches up in size and we all want to see the upset.
As for Kell, this is a fight for which he will be switched on. Ever since winning that IBF world title off Shawn Porter and then that awful stabbing, he seems to be right on-point. His confidence is never a problem, thanks to that Ingle magic, but going in with someone like Diego Chaves will show us just how good he really is.
Chaves has been in with the likes of Keith Thurman, Brandon Rios and Timothy Bradley, so we know he has got a good pedigree and we know he belongs at this level. This is the sort of opponent Kell wants and he knows this will really make him arrive, so he will be on his A-game. He will do the business.
He will put himself under pressure but Kell is the sort of guy who rises to the pressure. As for Tyson Fury... we'll find out!
