Tyson Fury has vowed to make "Italian sausages" out of his German rival Francesco Pianeta or kiss his feet.
The veteran boxer made the statement at a press conference in Belfast ahead of his comeback fight, after which he said he wants to go to become a five-time world champion.
The clash due to take place at Windsor Park in Belfast on Saturday is set to be one of the biggest boxing events the city has ever seen.
Fury was confident about his prospects of winning the fight.
"If he chins me, I'll crawl on my knees and kiss his two feet because he's obviously a better man than me and a better man that I have ever been," he said.
"If I can beat Francesco Pianeta, I'll have beaten another boxer, big deal, but if he beats me, he is going on to something very big, life changing for him, and if I can't beat Pianeta, I am going nowhere
"I'm going to smash him to pieces, make Italian sausage out of him."
Speaking through a translator, Italian born Pianeta said he rates Fury highly, but vowed to give the fight his best, and said he was looking forward to it.
Saturday will also see local heroes battling for world titles.
Carl Frampton take on Australian Luke Jackson, as well as Paddy Barnes fight Cristofer Rosales from Nicaragua.
John Rawling said it will be the "biggest show that Belfast has arguably ever had".
"It’s a fantastic night in prospect, huge interest, and it is very close to being a sell out," he said.
Promoter Frank Warren said there were 500 tickets available on Tuesday, and he expects them to be snapped up.
"It'll be the biggest boxing event Belfast has ever had," he added.
Fury has lost ten stone in weight since coming out of retirement 12 months ago.
"The old Tyson Fury is gone, Tyson Fury from three years ago and beyond is finished, I'm not looking to live in the past, I'm looking to go on and improve on what I am today and tomorrow," he said.
"The new Tyson Fury is going to put on a good fight, whether that will be better or worse than the last Tyson Fury, we'll have to wait and see on Saturday.
"I want to win a world title again so I'll have to raise my game. After having three years out of the ring and after ballooning to 28 stone and then down to 18 and a half stone. It’s a terrible terrible uphill battle, to lose that weight is mentally and physically draining, to train continuously for 12 months, you have to have a want.
"It’s a long hard battle, it's been challenging."
Now he says he is aiming to become a five-time champion.
"To be a two time heavy weight champion is alright, but it's not great because it's been done by everybody, to be a three-time heavyweight champion has been done before so five-time heavy weight champion is my goal.
"I always say aim for the stars and set big targets."
Paying tribute to the local fans who turned out to pack out the room in the Europa Hotel, Fury said Belfast fight fans are "among the best in the world".
"Boxing on an outdoor stadium is something new for me, I boxed in a football field in Germany but it had a roof on it, so to box outside, it's a new experience and I am always happy to take on a new challenge," he said.
"It’s going to be a good fight you know, I know Francesco is going to come at me, and when people come at me, well they are there to be punched in the face, I have a funny feeling he is going to come swinging looking for big shots to try and knock me out. It's going to be a big fight."
If Fury defeats Pianeta on Saturday, he said his next target will be American Deontay Wilder and he continued to goad the American in today's press conference.
Wilder will be present at ringside in Belfast in his role as TV analyst.
"If I come through this then Wilder has the chance to fight me - the lineal champion. Let's face it, he's not fought anybody," Fury said.
