But Almighty - who is riding a nine-fight win streak inside the octagon - isn't letting the potential prize of a title shot enter his mind ahead of the biggest fight of his career. He told SunSport: "No [it's not difficult to not think about a title shot]. That's always the end goal. But at the moment, this is more important. "This is the step to get there. If I don't get the job done here, then I ain't gonna get to that stage." Staying focused on the task at hand is something that has come easy to Allen throughout his career. The 28-year-old said: "I've written down my goals and I know what the plan is. But I've seen it in a lot of people who get ahead of themselves and start calling out five steps ahead and start thinking ahead. "It just takes one mishap for everything to go t**s up. The end goal is insight, but I know the short-term things are what matters [right now]. "Little victories here and there are what matter most." Although thoughts of a potential title shot are firmly at the back of his mind, Allen is all too aware of the magnitude of his first main event.
