British and Commonwealth light heavyweight champion Tony Bellew has said that Roberto Bolonti's higher ranking will mean nothing come Saturday night.
The pair meet on the undercard to Carl Froch's bout with Yusaf Mack in Nottingham, with the winner taking another step towards a world title shot.
"He ranks above me in every single organisation," Bellew told Sky Sports News. "He's WBC number five, above me in the IBF and WBA and I've got to get in there and prove the ranking wrong and take his away from him.
"He comes here with a very high ranking, but he isn't going to leave with it.
"I'm ready, I can't wait for the action to start and for the bell to go. It's been a good 10-week camp, I've come straight off the back of the last fight and I'm looking forward to getting back in the ring and doing the business."
Bellew won his last fight against Edison Miranda.
