The 30-year-old boxer will fight Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 12 for the second time.
"In my two fights in 2013 I was able to show that I can do it all in the sport of boxing," Bradley told BadLeftHook.com. "This next fight will be no different in helping me show the fans that I am top pound for pound in the world. I have a lot to prove and nothing can stop me on my way to being number one in the world."

Yet, Pacquiao, 35, is also prepared to put up a good fight and he will use one of his biggest advantages, according to his trainer Freddie Roach.
"I told Manny the other day, 'Manny, you have the best jab in the world and it drives me crazy that you don't use it,'" Roach recently told Yahoo Sports. "He can knock guys out with his jab. It's fast, hard and quick and I've been telling him he needs to use it more. In sparring, I've been getting him to double, triple and even throw four at a time. It sets up his left hand well."
April's match will be the second time Bradley and Pacquiao step in the ring together. The two boxers first fought in June 2012 and Bradley was the champion.
