Adaway is taking on Lewis Frimpong in what has become something of a grudge match at Bethnal Green's York Hall on Saturday, March 11, with the two contenders having already traded blows on social media.
The Plymothian might be in the away corner for the title clash, but speaking to The Herald this week, he had little doubts he could bring back the strap to the city.
"I genuinely believe that it's going to be a masterclass," he said. "I don't see a way of the judges taking it out of my hands.
"There might be a fight where I wouldn't take it because it might be close, but with this one I genuinely don't see a way of him beating me.
"I don't see any robberies happening." Adaway, the younger brother of veteran professional Chris Adaway, will be roared on by 50-60 fans at boxing's spiritual home and believes he is ready for his first contest over 10 rounds.
"I am 100% ready now," he said. "This next week is going to be training hard and picking it up a bit, but I am definitely ready to go." "This is my first 10-rounder and it has given me more of a buzz," he continued.
