“This is it – fight time tomorrow night. All the training is done, my weight is perfect and I’m ready for Billy Joe Saunders.
“I’ve won this world title and I’m not letting it go. Saunders will put up a good fight, but this belt is staying with me.”

“All the talking is done. We’ve talked and talked for as long as I can remember, now we just need to let our fists do the talking.
