People think I’m invincible but that can change in a second

and Dereck Chisora, has experience and knows his boxing — but I beat him so it shows it’s all just talking, it doesn’t affect the outcome of the fight.

On the subject of Fury, we’re not quite a sell-out for tomorrow night. It’s a 90,000 seater and we’ve got 89,998 filled, with a ticket spare for Fury and his plus one, but he needs to let us know pretty soon if he’s going to come.

But, of course, he’s welcome. It’s a heavyweigh­t fight and he’s one of my competitor­s.

There’s some great names coming tomorrow from the heavyweigh­t world: Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno while Deontay Wilder’s over for Sky Sports. It’s bringing everyone out as they want to sample this massive night.

Everyone talks about the occasion of a packed-out Wembley Stadium but I’ve had that before on the undercard of the Carl Froch-George Groves fight. It was a pretty brief for me that time — just 83 seconds against Matt Legg on that night back in 2014.

Okay, it wasn’t quite a sell-out at the time for what was my sixth fight as I opened the card that night in front of about 20,000 people.

Froch, though, has said to me that when you are fighting at Wembley and it’s full, it’s still just a ring, it could be anywhere in world — the action is not in the stands but in front of you on the canvas.

Going into this fight, some people have built me up to be untouchabl­e, unbeatable, invincible, and I’m not that, I fully accept that. I am a man and I am a winner but that can change in a second. That’s boxing.

Profession­al fighters are not gods or superheroe­s. We are just human and we make mistakes

But profession­al athletes, profession­al fighters, we’re not gods, we’re not superheroe­s. We are just human and we make mistakes. People are people, and the public shouldn’t follow the hype. They should follow the realness, follow the struggle because that means something.

No one is forcing me to be a boxer, this is my choice. I’ve given myself to the sport, embraced the hard work and the fun of pushing myself to the limit because tomorrow night, it all comes out in front of a global audience.

My day tomorrow will be the same as all of my previous fights from my last appearance at Wembley Stadium to my most recent against Eric Molina.

The day begins with breakfast with the whole team, followed by chilling out and sleeping, and maybe a walk if the weather is good.

But the reality is you don’t want to use up too much energy but that’s counterbal­anced by the fact you don’t want to just sit still and overthink.

It’s those hours on fight day when having the right people around you is so important, keeping you grounded at all times.

When I was younger, I didn’t dream of winning Olympic gold because I didn’t really know about the Olympics. Back then, I wanted to be the undisputed heavyweigh­t champion of the world.

That was always the dream. After I won the IBF belt I said that I was a quarter of the way to my goal — tomorrow I can get even closer. I just can’t wait.
