Lewie ‘The Saint’ Edmondson is targeting a “violent stoppage win” when he faces Portsmouth’s Joel McIntyre in Cardiff on 11 May.
The two will meet at Cardiff Arena on the undercard of Lauren Price’s world title shot against Jessica McCaskill.
Edmondson will not be fighting for world titles but has aspirations one day of being in that position.
“I never want to lose in the ring, let alone to a Pompey man,” he told BBC Sport.
The undefeated 28-year-old is a big Southampton FC supporter and is targeting a ninth career victory in Cardiff.
“I believe I should be coming through these fights in good style,” Edmondson added.
The light heavyweight was last in action in December when he secured a unanimous points decision over Dmytro Fedas on the undercard of Chris Billam-Smith v Mateusz Masternak.
Edmondson’s opponent, Joel McIntyre, was previously English light-heavyweight champion and despite losing his past four fights, has come up against experienced opponents including Lyndon Arthur, Ricky Summers and Shakan Pitters.
The 36-year-old’s most recent bout was against the highly rated Ezra Taylor.
“I’m ready to put on a career-best performance, trust me it’s incoming.”
