Sam Goodman and the big-talking Mark Schleibs are set to deliver plenty of fireworks at the press conference as the two prepare to come to blows on Wednesday.
Goodman and Schleibs headline a bumper double header card in Wollongong alongside popular Aussie knockout artist Issac Hardman, who takes on Endry Saavedra.

Also featuring on the card is former rugby league star Curtis Scott, as he steps between the ropes for the first time as a professional in a heavyweight contest against Joey Leilua.
However, attention will largely be focused on Goodman as he headlines a Pay-Per-View card for the first time in his career.
The Aussie super bantamweight star is risking his status as the mandatory challenger to Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue, who holds all the belts in the bantamweight division.
