Thor Bjornsson plans to leave bitter rival Eddie Hall with broken teeth, a broken nose and cuts to his face in their grudge boxing fight.
The Icelandic star is preparing to finally settle his beef with fellow strongman Hall at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on Saturday.
He has already taken to the ring three times in preparation, most recently defeating arm-wrestler Devon Larratt with a first-round stoppage.
And Bjornsson believes the 12oz gloves he will wear on fight night will enable him to inflict serious damage.
"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."
The pair were set to finally meet in the ring last year but his rival suffered a detached bicep and was forced to delay the date.
Bjornsson has been training with Scottish trainer Billy Nelson to prepare for the clash and he has now made the switch to Dubai, a week after Hall made the same move.
The 39-year-old has been training hard to increase his boxing technique and has sparred with professional and amateur boxers.
He has also shed an incredible 50kg of weight to prepare himself for the ring and is currently at his lowest weight since he was 10-years-old.
Meanwhile Hall has also been preparing hard for the clash but opted not to have warm-up bout.

And Bjornsson has admitted the travelling and doubts about his opponent will make him stronger.
"I am super excited to go to Dubai, everything is coming together," Bjornsson continued. "A lot of people are commenting online saying 'what is Eddie's next excuse going to be next?'
"I hope that he is not going to pull out of this fight again with a new injury, Eddie we are this close just train smart, remember to rest and don't get injured. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me but I would be f****** f****** disappointed because I want to beat your a**.
"You can't do that man for the fans and for the people. He actually said last time that he was willing to fight injured so there is no excuses now Eddie.
"I am that confident going into this fight that I am not worried about any of the travelling, It is just going to make me stronger."
