Thor Bjornsson will do his best to avoid a confrontation with rival Eddie Hall before their strongman boxing clash.
The pair are currently in Dubai as they enter the final stages of preparations before going head-to-head in the boxing ring.
Hall flew out to Dubai before Bjornsson followed suit shortly afterwards with the pair currently sharing similar facilities in the Middle East.
And the Icelander made sure he left the gym before he crossed paths with his rival.
"Eddie's coming and as you guys know I really dislike the guy and I don't fancy seeing him," Bjornsson told fans on his YouTube channel.
"If I can skip it I would rather only see him when I have to, I know we're about to do some interviews together in the next few days so I will see him then.
"There's no need to see him sooner, I'm not excited to see him. Well, I'm really excited to see him on Saturday because I'm really excited to knock his teeth out."
Bjornsson and Hall have continued to exchange fiery words in the build up to the tilt, with their rivalry deriving from their previous strongman competitions.
Hall was forced to withdraw from their previously scheduled contest after suffering a detached bicep in training.
His Icelandic rival instead opted to face arm wrestler Devon Larratt to build up his ring experience as he dismissed his opponent within one round.
Bjornsson has also been in the ring with professional fighters Steven Ward and Simon Valily in preparation for the clash.

As the vicious war of words continue heading in to fight week, Bjornsson has listed a whole host of injuries he plans to inflict on his opponent with the clash fast approaching.
"I'm really excited to knock his teeth out. I'm not just saying it, I truly believe I'll probably do this," Bjornsson said on his YouTube channel. "His face will be damaged, that's just a fact.
"With the gloves we're going to use, the 12oz gloves, and the way I've been sparring, it's guaranteed that his face won't be 100 per cent. It wouldn't surprise me if his nose will be broken, cuts on his face... be prepared."
Hall is equally as confident despite admitting he has had some hard sparring during which he was left concussed.
The British star has also confirmed he has been suffering with a chest infection which has threatened to plague his recent conditioning.
However the 34-year-old has admitted he is willing to win at all costs in Dubai.
"I'll do whatever it takes to put Thor on the canvas," he said. "I've got more heart, more determination, more aggression, more speed, more agility, more punch selection.
"The only thing he's got on me is reach. I'm telling you now, this is going to be a proper fight and in a fight, it's the better fighter that wins."
