Tyson Fury insists he's ready to "reclaim my throne" as he prepares to fight Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title.
The Briton, who has made his return to the ring this year for the first time since defeating Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf to become WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion, faces the biggest test of the second part of his career when he meets Wilder in Las Vegas on December 1.
Fury won both his comeback fights with ease but is the marginal outsider to dethrone the unbeaten American in California.
At an open media workout, Fury said: "This is an important fight for boxing, because it's two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line.
"It's a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand, and make him worry about defending my punches.
"I already became a unified champion; I've crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I'm back and I'm here for good.
"I'm back to reclaim my throne. Even though I've had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight."

He has decamped to the Big Bear training camp to prepare at altitude and is relishing the training.
"I'm used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear.
"There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It's perfect. There's nothing but a few bears and rattle snakes. That's it as far as distractions.
"I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he's going to have me ready for the challenge."
Fury was sporting some eye-catching shorts during the media workout and added: "I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause."
