JAMIE Moore has admitted he will have to produce the best performance of his career to beat Sebastian Lujan and keep alive his world title dream.

The British light-middleweight champion will take on the world-class Argentinian at Altrincham Leisure Centre tomorrow night.

And, in what is a huge step up in class for the Walkden ace, Moore knows he will have to be in top form if he is to achieve his dream of a major title showdown by the end of the year.

"This is the biggest fight of my career," said the 28-year-old southpaw. "It'll have to be one of the best performances of my career, but I'm confident I can do that. I've been saying for the past 18 months I need to step up to world level and I'm ready to do that.

I'm in great shape - the best of my life - and just ready to go now."

The Lonsdale Belt holder returned to the ring last month after recovering from a shoulder operation to cruise past Romanian journeyman Mugurel Sebe.

Victory would put Moore in line for a shot at one of the world crowns - but knows he will have his work cut out against 27-year-old Lujan, who has twice fought for world titles, the last of which saw him go the distance with classy WBO champ Sergiy Dzinziruk last May.

"He's fought in a lot higher class than me and is a tough nut," he said. "He's a genuine world-class fighter but that's what I've been seeking for a long time now. This is my chance to make a statement around the world.

"I want to show I have the potential to challenge for, and win, a world title - and not a lesser one, but a legitimate world title."

With a match-up with WBC champion Oscar De La Hoya out of the question should he win, Moore would relish a chance to take on IBF king Corey Spinks or fellow American Travis Simms, the WBA holder.

But the Salforn-born fighter is refusing to look past his clash with Lujan for the time being. He said: "I'm taking one fight at a time."
