Tyson Fury has told Deontay Wilder it is "written in the stars" that he will beat the American in style when they clash in the ring.
Fury challenges Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on 1 December.
It will be only the third bout of Fury's comeback - after defeating Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta - following a two-and-a-half-year absence.
The 30-year-old Briton (27-0, 19 KOs) said on BT Sport's Face Off programme while sat at a table across from Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs): "The fact that I've chosen you after having two fights coming back, and that I want this fight, is a statement for the world to see.
"I want this to be one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history, similar to George Foreman, Muhammad Ali and the other great comeback fighters.
"If I can win this belt they'll put me amongst the greats of the comebacks. All the controversy and stuff I've been through, adds to the flavour.
"I know for a fact deep down in my soul, it's written in the stars for me to come back and wipe you out, in style, in America. And everyone is going to say 'how did he do that?' And I'm going to say 'I told you so.' I'm back.
"I'm beating you one million per cent.
"I have no doubts, even after all the time off - you cannot beat me. I know deep in my heart you can't beat me.
"I know no-one can - I'll retire unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world, like Rocky Marciano, the second man to do it in history. You can't beat me and 10 more like you can't beat me."
