Daniel Dubois is preparing with renewed confidence for his heavyweight championship rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on 19 July at Wembley Stadium, with all four major belts on the line.
The 27-year-old IBF champion from London is currently deep in training camp ahead of the bout against the WBA, WBC and WBO titleholder.
"I'm sure now, more sure than I was then and that's a big difference, it makes a massive difference. Call it belief or whatever, I just think I've got it now," Dubois told Queensberry Promotions.
The British fighter is seeking revenge for his ninth-round stoppage defeat to Usyk at Stadion Wroclaw in 2023.

Dubois believes the Ukrainian champion's two gruelling encounters with Tyson Fury have taken their toll on the 38-year-old.
Dubois said: "I think he is a little bit worn. Those two fights with Fury, the fights with me and everyone else have all taken a little bit out of him. I feel like he's ready to be taken off that pedestal."
The IBF champion has vowed to exploit what he perceives as Usyk's vulnerability.

"I know what I've got to do and that's make him old on the night. You can turn a guy old in one night in a fight, and that's what I've got to do," he added.
Since his loss to Usyk, Dubois has transformed his career with three significant stoppage victories against Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua.
The most recent triumph came at Wembley Stadium, where he knocked out Joshua in the fifth round.

"I'll do it properly this time, no fiddling about, no pitter patter, it's just bombs away," said the heavyweight.
"I think we are levelling up in the gym and everyone is pushing me harder than ever."
Dubois remains focused on his preparation, stating he has "time to train, focus, spar and then do a demolition job."

The 27-year-old will make history as the first boxer to headline consecutive main events at Wembley Stadium, having defeated Joshua there in his previous outing.
The London fighter, who can see Wembley's arch from his north London training base, believes destiny is on his side.
"Things are meant to be, they're meant to happen. I want to do it again at Wembley like we did last time and do it even better," he said.
Victory would make Dubois Britain's first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.
He concluded by promising: "You guys want to see a show, I'm going to give you one."
