Watch Anthony Joshua, Ryan Garcia and more on DAZN
Fabio Wardley remains convinced he won his first bout with Frazer Clarke ahead of the pair's rematch next month, adding he is ready to "settle the score properly".
The four-belt heavyweight champion retained his crown in a pulsating draw at London's The O2 Arena against his opponent in March, but was unhappy with the result.
The pair will have the chance to find a definitive answer to their rivalry on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
DAZNSpeaking at a press conference ahead of the Riyadh Season event, Wardley doubled down on his claims he won their first face-off earlier this year.
"It depends who you ask really, but I don’t think it was a draw at all," he said. "I think I pressed the fight, I pressed the action, I had him going in the fight numerous times.
"I had him down. I got a point deduction. I think there’s numerous points there that prove that I won the fight. But it sets us up for a bigger rematch."
Wardley previously fought on a Riyadh Season undercard last year when Tyson Fury faced off with Francis Ngannou, defeating David Adeleye.
The Briton professed his delight to feature once more, adding: "I get to come back to Riyadh, do it on a massive show, a massive card, and finally settle the score properly."
