Bermuda boxer Teresa Perozzi knows even if she clearly beats Christina Hammer in her native Germany the home judges may still call the fight even.

Unless she can knock Hammer out, Perozzi accepts she will risk falling foul of a home decision just as she did when she drew with Asa Sandell in Sweden around three years' ago.

Perozzi dominated that fight, cracking the Swede's cheekbone and leaving her in a bloody mess, and yet still the judges did not award the fight in her favour.

And she is well aware it could be a case of déjà vu when she goes toe-to-toe with rising star Hammer for the vacant WBO middleweight title in Riesa on October 23.

"Obviously I'd love a knockout but it's hard to guarantee because I know I'm going into a situation that's not in my favour," she said.

"But I don't want to take a fight just because I'm certain to win. If I walk away with a draw then I know I will have really won."

Perozzi intends to go to war on Hammer in front of her home crowd at the Erdgas Arena which holds around 5,000 spectators.

She believes she will be too experienced and too powerful for the 19-year-old, whose style is reportedly similar to both Sandell and top ranked female Natascha Ragosina who Perozzi lost to the last time she fought in Germany.

"(Hammer's) got a very European-style, similar to Asa Sandall and Ragosina," she said. "I just want to put so much pressure on her and I feel I'm in such good shape I can go all out for ten rounds. She's just not going to be able to handle it.

"I feel totally different this time around than last time I fought in Germany when a lot of things went wrong for me."

The 36-year-old heads to Albany, New York today for an intensive ten day training camp where she will be put through her paces by trainer Rick Sweeney.

She would be focusing on 'cutting off the ring' which would enable her to control the ten-round fight and pressure Hammer, who is undefeated in seven bouts.

"I feel really good already. I'm already doing ten rounds and obviously the intensity is going to be picked up when I'm out there with Rick," said Perozzi, who beat Cimberley Harris at Berkeley Gym in July.

"He does really high intensity pad work which I really like and he's also got four girls out there or me to spar with. It's going to be really important for me to spend a lot of time in the ring as they're going to use a really big one (in Germany).

"I'm definitely going to need to cut off the ring and that's something I'm going to have to work on."

Win, lose or draw Perozzi is not sure of her next move after the Hammer fight. If she does returns to the ring, though, Perozzi would prefer it to be in her own backyard in Bermuda.

"It's hard to say what's next for me, I thought I was at the end of it and then these opportunities came up," she said. "If we get the belt I'd like to do something here in April or May next year. I'd really prefer to fight here."
