Nadeem Siddique is muscling up for his next fight by weight training with Junior Witter.
Siddique appears on Witter's undercard at Nottingham Arena next Saturday and he intends to pack just as powerful a punch.
The unbeaten Bradford lightweight said: "I've done six to eight weeks on the weights now and I'm trying to out-do Junior.
"I'm not saying I've done that yet but it's going very well and I'm feeling stronger than ever.
"Doing the same weights as Junior has definitely made a difference."
Siddique could face his toughest test against Ghana's Alex Brew.
The African has replaced original opponent Dezzy Higginson and his
9-3-1 record, including seven knock-outs, suggests he is not there just to make up the numbers in his second fight in England.
Siddique added: "I've had two knock-outs in my last three fights so I know the power is there. Brew has got a good record but I've been in the gym for 11 weeks now getting ready so I'm raring to go."
Tickets for the Nottingham Arena bill are still available on 07878 358154.
