Chantelle Cameron is expecting a tough fight against Jessica McCaskill this weekend, but is confident of becoming the undisputed super-lightweight champion in Abu Dhabi.
The Northampton native feels that both Chicago-based McCaskill and her coach Rick Ramos are overlooking her for the bout, which is the main support act for the WBA light-heavyweight world title bout between Dmitry Bivol and Gilberto Ramirez in the Middle East.
She told The Irish Mirror: "I think it will be a very tough fight. I think she'll come out all guns blazing, but I think they are overlooking me too much, which is very stupid on their part.

"They're already talking about who they want next, they're overlooking me, that's a bad thing to do as a fighter and that's just giving me confidence.
"I take every opponent as a threat and she is in for a rude awakening."
Although trash-talking is not Cameron's style, she says she genuinely dislikes McCaskill and Ramos.
She explained: "They gave me all this abuse online because I said I wanted to fight Jessica and I was like what are you doing?
"So for me this is a little bit personal because I don't like them. I don't like their personalities, I don't like the way they carry themselves and I think they've got bad morals so for me I do have that bit of spite in there because I don't think they're good for the sport."
And on the back of Katie Taylor's win over Karen Elizabeth Carabajal, Cameron admitted she would love to finally face the Bray Bomber at Croke Park or anywhere else.
If victorious on Saturday night, Cameron could offer Taylor the opportunity to become a two-weight undisputed champion next summer, something Taylor admitted she would be very interested in trying to achieve following her recent victory.
And despite Serrano remaining Taylor and her team's preferable opponent, the opportunity to become undisputed champion at another weight would be a very tempting second option.
Ireland's 2012 Olympic gold medallist and Cameron previously fought in the amateur ranks, but the English fighter has long claimed that Taylor's team have avoided her as a professional.
Cameron added: "I think Katie will fight anyone. I think it's her team that has avoided me.
"I've had nothing to offer kind of, but if I do win undisputed it makes me a marketable fight because Katie would have the chance to become a two-division world champion against me.
"There have been girls that have fought Katie and I've thought how have they got the fight and I haven't? I feel like I've done a bit more than what some of them have done and I'm a better fighter than them, but they've got the opportunities.
"It's just down to professional boxing politics and this and that, but if I do win undisputed I don't see why the fight couldn't happen then because I'd have something there to offer and bring to the table and I don't think I could be denied it anymore.
"But obviously I need to get the win first and that's the priority. I'm not going to be doing a McCaskill and overlooking what's happening.
"I've got to get the win first and I'm definitely not going to overlook McCaskill. She's a good strong fighter, but skillfully I don't think she's as good as me."
