Zab Judah has vowed to be Amir Khan's "worst nightmare" when the two meet in Las Vegas for the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles on July 23.
Khan has already focused his attention beyond the Judah clash by commenting that he wants to take on the winner of the battle between Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Victor Ortiz.
But Judah has reminded Khan of the dangers of underestimating him, citing the example of Lucas Martin Matthysse, a Golden Boy Promotions fighter who was unbeaten before losing a narrow split decision to Judah last November.
"When I went in against Matthysse, me and my team knew that I was going to beat him," Judah said. "Golden Boy thought I was going to be a stepping stone, so they sacrificed one of their pawns. Now they're going to come back and sacrifice one of their queens. It's check mate baby, you know it is!
"I plan to be his (Amir Khan's) worst nightmare. After this fight I plan on Team Khan having a 62 hour watch on Amir Khan. I plan on being the Freddie Krueger of his dreams. I plan on being Freddie Krueger to Freddie Roach [Khan's trainer]. I'm pretty sure after this fight Freddie Roach would never put his golden boy and marquee fighter, which is Manny Pacquiao, against me in the ring."
