Canadian Bizier's (25-2-KO17) two career defeats came on points at the hands of Jo Jo Dan, who Brook beat inside four rounds a year ago, but the mandatory challenger's trainer Marc Ramsey remains confident.
He told a press conference on Thursday: "It's a great opportunity for Bizier. We had an amazing training camp with great sparring partners. We have no excuse. No injuries. We are here with everything to gain and nothing to lose.
"I don't want to explain too much about what we're going to do. Kell is a very complete fighter but the same thing goes for Kevin Bizier. He's mandatory challenger, has a lot of ability and can adapt to any situation in the ring. It's a guaranteed success for the fans."
Bizier's promoter, Yvon Michel, said: "He'll fight like it's his last fight ever. If you think he's going to go away in one or two rounds, I'm telling you he'll be there until the end.
Kevin Bizier is coming here to win the title and go back with the IBF belt. It's on pay-per-view in Quebec and 150 bars have bought the fight already.
"I read everywhere that Kell Brook was hoping to have good opposition. You have to be careful what you wish for because when you have it, you have to cope for it.
"Kevin Bizier is coming here to win the title and go back with the IBF belt. It's on pay-per-view in Quebec and 150 bars have bought the fight already. He's the first boxer born in Quebec City to fight for a world championship.
"If he wins the title, there will be 18,000 people waiting for him over there. He's popular. He's a family man and everybody likes to be associated with Kevin Bizier."
Brook v Bizier is live on Sky Sports 1 from 7.30pm on Saturday night, with Luke Campbell v Gary Sykes and David Allen v Jason Gavern also featuring.
