"I've been training harder than at any other time of life," he said. "I fought Lee once before and it was a draw. There was a lot of talk that he got a raw deal in Belfast and some problems over weight issues, But it won't be a draw this time. In fact, I believe I can stop him in two rounds.
"I know what sort of fighter he is and I've worked out a plan with my coach Billy Murray. I'm desperate to be champion and I'm doubly keen because I know so many of my family will want me to bring the belt back home."
Teenager Mark Bird will be looking a better result after his disastrous outing last month at the Bash 'n' Mash - the talented 17 year-old was stopped by tough Corsican Alex Lorenzoni in the opening minute of the first round.
Great things were destined for young Bird - but it may take a little longer than planned - as it is was back to basics after a 28 day medical ban was imposed. Now the young Prokick fighter is back in full swing and is looking to rectify his loss and get back on winning form.
Another Prokick fighter on the card is Slovakian born kickboxer Tomas Glazer. The 25 year old has his debut on Scottish soil against teenager Rowan Holligan local man from Aberdeen who no doubt will have plenty of support in his favour.
The top of the bill clash will see Scotland's Steve Bonner face Poland's Puchack Jacek for the heavyweight amateur world full contact tite. Other big titles on the card include an amateur world title clash for Scotland's tough female fighter Adele Steinbach against World champion Frenchwoman Caralie Fourel and Nicola Craigie takes on Poland's Sandra Drabik for European glory.
