Jordan Gill believes he belongs with the world's best featherweights and can maintain his impressive rise with victory over Emmanuel Dominguez on Saturday's JD NXTGEN bill.
The unbeaten 24-year-old can break into the WBA's top 15 if he defeats Dominguez to claim the WBA international title in Peterborough, live on Sky Sports.

But the battle-hardened Mexican is unlikely to wilt easily, with his only stoppage loss coming against current WBO super-bantamweight champion Emanuel Navarrete.
Gill has added spite to his silky skills, stopping Ryan Doyle in seven rounds to claim the Commonwealth title, and can further enhance his growing reputation with an emphatic win.
Big-name fights could lie ahead for Gill, who is part of a domestic division that includes British champion Ryan Walsh, along with world-class performers such as Josh Warrington, Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg.
What the fighters said
To get a WBA top 15 ranking will be great. We can push on and see what happens after that but my sights are firmly set on Emmanuel Dominguez on Saturday night.
Those tough opponents have helped me develop this massive hunger that I've got. I've come here to win and I'm carrying that belt back to Mexico.
