Chris Eubank Jr taunted Liam Smith ahead of Saturday’s fight in Manchester.
The experienced British pair fight live on DAZN (US, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Germany and Austria only) in a high-profile fight that could elevate the winner into a title shot match-up later this year.
The build-up has been increasingly ill-tempered and Friday’s weigh-in was a little calmer but no more friendly.
"I saw in his eyes on the stage there, he doesn't want to be there," Eubank said after the pair were both found to have made weight, reported Sky Sports .
"He's in for a rude awakening tomorrow, let me tell you," he continued. "Don't think that size is going to be a big issue.
"I made the weight in excellent fashion, I can't wait to go tomorrow.
"We're at the 50 percent now and that's what it's going to take to beat that man.
"The antics leading up to this fight have made me a little bit hungrier. I'm going to enjoy the punishment I dish out.
"We go out each and every time to take these guys out. I've got to win in devastating fashion."
