KEY POINTS:
It's supposed to be the fight that creates headlines for Shane Cameron but his opponent is confident he will knock out the Kiwi heavyweight inside three rounds.
Kelvin "Koncrete" Davis is a former IBF world cruiserweight champion and has fought on a number of Roy Jones Jnr - for a long time recognised as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world - undercards.
He comes into Thursday's fight with a record of 24 wins (17 KOs), six losses and two draws and is seen as Cameron's most dangerous opponent to date.
Koncrete's brother and manager Kelly certainly thinks so: "He'll [Davis] take him out in three rounds."
Cameron will put his IBF Pan Pacific, WBA Pan African and WBO Asia Pacific titles on the line, along with his undefeated record of 18 wins (16 KOs).
"TCB. I'm here to take care of business," Davis said. "My dream is to be heavyweight champion of the world and this fight will help me get there."
The 29-year-old Nevadan has been a world champion before. In 2004, he defeated Ezra Sellars to claim the vacant IBF world cruiserweight title but had it stripped from him because he didn't defend it within 12 months. Davis blames his former promoter Don King.
"Don King didn't give me any fights," Davis said. "He wanted to have a cruiserweight tournament. I was supposed to fight for the undisputed title but it never happened. They stripped me of my title.
"What you guys see [of Don King] is not exactly what it's like behind closed doors. You guys only get to see the beginning, not the end.
"He's not crazy. He's very smart, very manipulative. He can convince you to sell your own mother. I don't dislike the man, it's just me and him didn't work out."
Davis has often been compared to former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and is referred to as Lil' Tyson in some quarters.
He's listed as 5 ft 8 ins (1.73m) but is probably closer to 5 ft 6 ins (1.68m), is a powerful puncher and has a tattoo on his face (apparently he got them before Tyson). But, he says, he's not about to dine out on Cameron's ear.
He would rather assume Cameron's IBF world ranking of 15, which he would do if he defeats the Mountain Warrior on Thursday.
That's why it's a risky but important fight for Cameron. Win, and he will have a former world champion as a scalp. Lose, and he will need to work his way back up again.
