Anthony Joshua has no doubt that as "the guy who should beat Wladimir Klitschko" he must defeat Eric Molina in style this weekend.
Joshua makes the second defence of his IBF world heavyweight title when he takes on Texan Molina at Manchester Arena on Saturday night.
If the 27-year-old Briton, as expected, is successful, he is set to face Klitschko next year for the vacant WBA crown, with promoter Eddie Hearn, quoted by the BBC, saying the date could be April 29 and the venue Wembley Stadium.
When asked about Klitschko at a public workout at Manchester Arena on Tuesday, Joshua said: "I still have Molina in front of me.
"I have to keep myself on the rise. You know how it goes with people - one bad performance and they say 'you'll never beat that guy'.
"I'm the guy that should beat Klitschko, so I have to make sure I perform like the guy who should beat Klitschko. Even though I'm not fighting him (on Saturday), I have to look good."
