Bika predicts KO victory in Canada

With major US TV network CBS broadcasting their fight into millions of American homes, Sakio Bika and Adonis Stevenson are predicting fireworks.

Australia's Sakio Bika and Canadian Adonis Stevenson agree their world-title fight this weekend will end in a knockout.

They just can't agree on who will be lying flat on their back on the canvas.

"I'll be the one to knock him out," a confident Bika, who is stepping up a weight division to take on WBC light heavyweight champion Stevenson, told reporters at their press conference in Quebec City on Wednesday.

Cameroon-born Bika has never been knocked out in 41 professional fights, while Stevenson has knocked out opponents in 21 of his 25 victories.

Millions of American sports fans will be tuning in to watch Saturday's (Sunday AEST) bout as it marks American free-to-air network CBS's return to broadcasting live fights.

Bika and Stevenson have been vocal about putting on a show for the large TV audience with a devastating knockout win.

"I'm a knockout artist," Haitian-born Stevenson said.

"I can do a lot in the ring, but first and foremost I'm a knockout artist."

The fight in Quebec City's Pepsi Coliseum is scheduled to begin 5am Sunday AEST.
