Neven Pajkic has moved to tone down the friction between himself and Tyson Fury ahead of their Commonwealth heavyweight title fight on Saturday.
The pair clashed at a press conference on Wednesday and have been exchanging insults in the build-up to the fight but Pajkic appeared in a conciliatory mood as he attempted to take the sting out of some of his comments when the two met up again.
All that matters is inside the ring on the night and who's going to be victorious.

Fury is 1.062 to win the fight while Pajkic can be backed at 8.00.
"There were some words exchanged between Tyson and I," said the Canadian national champion, who is 81.00 to win in the tenth round.
"But all that matters is inside the ring on the night and who's going to be victorious."
He added to Fury: "The worst thing I want for you is to sleep for 11 seconds, not a second more.
"I want you to go home healthy to your wife and kids."
Fury didn't respond to his opponent's comments, choosing instead to concentrate on the fight.
"I've been training hard and everything's gone well," said the 23-year-old British and Commonwealth champion. "For me, it will be a really good fight."
