"I'm excited, I can't wait. The city is buzzing. We both love an old war and it's especially exciting as it's Belfast against Belfast," said Crocker.
"Belfast already has a class boxing community and this rivalry makes it something else. It's going to be fireworks on Saturday.
"Originally it was meant to be us headlining the bill but then obviously Mick came along and it's great to have Mick on the card as well.
"It just goes to show you boxing is booming in Belfast and there's a bright future for everyone."
For Crocker, victory on Saturday would represent the biggest win of his career and a step closer to his ultimate aim of a shot at a world title.
"It's life-changing. Get this win and it shoots me onto next year for massive opportunities. But I'm not looking past Saturday, I have to get the job done first."
The fight has all of the makings of a classic and in a city fiercely proud of its heritage in the sport, both men have the opportunity to write their name into Belfast boxing folklore.
