Noongar boxer Alex Winwood is four days away from a chance at creating Australian history and breaking a four decade-long record in the process with a world title on offer in just his fifth professional bout, a far cry from being "disappointed" with the end of his amateur career a short time ago.

After more than fifty fights and both the Tokyo Olympics and Birmingham Commonwealth Games in the amateur arena, Winwood turned professional in late 2022.

Less than two years on, the 27-year-old is 4-0 with Australian and international belts, with wins over former world champions in his back pocket while eyeing-off Thai fighter Thammanoon Niyomtrong's WBA minimumweight world title as the pair prepare to face off in Perth on Saturday.

A win will make him the fastest Australian man to reach boxing's heights, two fights shy of Jeff Fenech's seven-bout pace to claiming the IBF Bantamweight title in 1985.

Winwood previously told National Indigenous Times it's a rapid rise from early days training in "tin sheds" after taking up the sport in his teens, with the tags of "generational talent", someone "destined for greatness" and the "real deal" placed on him by those with the best view of his credentials.

"I think I had around 60 fights, then in that time, I managed to represent Australia in two world championships, and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and the Tokyo Olympics," Winwood told SportsBoom.com of his amateur career.

"I was a bit disappointed in how my amateur career finished, but I turned a new leaf and jumped straight into the pros, and, after one warm-up fight, we started challenging top 10 contenders straightaway."

Winwood's Commonwealth Games campaign ended on the wrong end of a a controversial knockout decision to Zambia's Patrick Chinyemba.

Within months, the Western Australian had turned pro, registering stoppage wins in his first two fights before unanimous decisions over highly-touted opponents in Reyneris Gutierrez and Cris Ganoza in carving out a name.

Since, he and his team have regularly said the early ambitions were to make a statement, taking on experienced and proven fighters in search of an early title fight.

"I wasn't trying to take any blueprint off of anyone in terms of what I wanted to do with my career. I just thought my skillset was above most the journeymen, so I wanted to get in there and test myself straightaway. I was willing to die on my sword and that's pretty much still the mentality that I have," Winwood told StortsBoom.com.

In August, Winwood told National Indigenous Times he's embracing the swift rise and title shot on offer.

"I don't like losing," Winwood said.

"The risk (fighting high-rated opponents) for me has always been the same and the reward to get to this point has been the same.

"To fight for a world title as fast as we have (got here) - I'm just fully embracing it every day."

His next test in Niyomtrong - known by ring name Knockout CP Freshmart, presents the toughest test on paper.

The Thai boasts a 24 fight undefeated record, has successfully defended his title 11 times since claiming it in 2016.

Winwood, however, says timing might be on his side.

"I believe so, I think long layoffs can hurt boxers especially at his age so, you know, he's 33 I think, so he's getting up there and us small boxers we don't have that same longevity as the heavyweights," he said, via BoomSports.com.

"So, he hasn't had to make weight in two years, he hasn't probably put them reps in, got his eye in as much as he has been previously, so yeah, I think it's really going to show what he has."

Winwood hosts Knockout CP Freshmart with the WBA World Minimumweight Super Championship on the line at Perth's 4,500-seat HBF Stadium on Saturday night.
