Michael Jennings may be preparing for the biggest fight of his career on Saturday – but couldn't be more relaxed.
The Chorley ace will be taking centre stage at Madison Square Garden in New York as he tackles Miguel Cotto for the vacant WBO welterweight crown.
But the 31-year-old is far from fazed by the experience of taking on the classy Puerto Rican at one of the most famous boxing venues in the world.
Talking from New York, Jennings told the Evening Post: "Yes, it's definitely the highlight of my career. Everyone wants to know how am I going to cope with all the people and that sort of thing?
"But I'm not bothered about all that, it doesn't matter.
"Fighting at Madison Square Garden, at this moment in time, it's just like fighting at the MEN Arena for me.
"But five years down the line, you know, when I look back on it and think, I was top of the bill at Madison Square Garden, I think that's when it'll probably all come together.
"But for now, all I'm bothered about is getting the fight won.
"My preparation has gone really well. I've been doing some weight training and all that sort of thing.
"My fitness is excellent, my sparring's gone well, my roadwork, everything."
Despite the challenge provided by Cotto, Jennings is showing little sign of nerves.
He said: "At the end of the day, you build them up in your own head but when you actually go over and meet the people, he's no different to us.
"Obviously, he's a good fighter, without a doubt he's got some good scalps on his record and he's got a few KOs and stuff like that. But I've done all my hard training. I'm going to go over and just give it 100%."
"There's a few hundred going over from Chorley, all the local fans, so I'm happy about that."
"I've not had a drink since October or November.
"It's rare I drink anyway, but I've just knocked it on the head altogether. I might not bother starting drinking again, actually.
"I had a quiet Christmas, with a lot of training. And as soon as Christmas was over, I was straight back in the gym, full-on 100% sort of thing."
"I'm a massive underdog, so obviously if I beat him, it makes it even better when I come home. I'd sooner be the underdog.
"I've just got to win it, and if I do it will be life-changing."
A comparison of the fighters' records shows a remarkably similar story –Jennings has won 34 of his 35 fights, while Cotto has won 32 out of 33.
