Femi Fehintola could have Clinton Woods and Ricky Hatton in his corner when he challenges British super featherweight champion Carl Johanneson on 3 November. Bradford's Fehintola, 24, is a gym-mate of IBF light heavyweight champion Woods and part of the same promotional stable as two-weight world champion Hatton.
"If the Femi I see day-in, day-out in the gym turns up on the night, he'll win the British title," said Woods.
"I've been making sure Femi trains like he's never done before."
Fehintola, who is undefeated in 14 professional fights, said: "I'm determined to make the most of my chance so I can emulate the success of my team-mate and world champion Clinton Woods.

"I've also received words of encouragement from Ricky Hatton and I hope to have both men in my corner at the Barnsley Metrodome."
The 28-year-old Johanneson, from Leeds, won his belt with an impressive fourth-round stoppage of London's Billy Corcoran in July.
And he will want to stake his claim as Britain's elite 130lb fighter, while claiming bragging rights on the streets of Yorkshire.
"I've worked hard to get where I am and I'm not about to let some 14-fight novice take that away from me," said Johanneson, who has 24 wins from 26 fights.
"It doesn't matter who he has in the corner at the Barnsley Metrodome - once the bell goes there are only two men in the ring.
"Even if he had the Beast from the East [WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev] in his corner, that wouldn't save him."
The super featherweight division is arguably the hottest in Britain at the present time.
Edinburgh's Alex Arthur is the European champion and Dagenham's Kevin Mitchell fights for the Commonwealth crown on Saturday.
Scottish duo Ricky Burns and Craig Docherty are also formidable domestic performers.
