Billam-Smith: "The dream is always to win a world title and I got the opportunity to do that at Bournemouth stadium. We've worked for years to get shows down here and now we've had four back-to-back. The fans have always turned out to create an amazing atmosphere and I can't wait to be walking out on Sunday as a defending champion."

Masternak: "My journey in boxing has lasted a long time, this preparation for the fight has been magical. We have a deal with my wife, we said that if I want a third baby I have to become a world champion. My daughter is now five and I have to keep my promise, the WBO belt will be mine on Sunday."
