They said it!
Eubank Jr. "I don't mind going in the lion's hole. I have been booed into arenas numerous times before.
"It doesn't affect me. It actually makes me more determined to fight against the crowd. They are, I hope. I wish to be greeted with a warm welcome.
"But regardless, I'm going in there and get it done."
Williams: He's a pretender. He wants people to believe he is at a certain level, and that everyone else is irrelevant or a no one. But the truth is that he is a clown.
"We both have a style that we both want to be involved with good fights, and we can't help ourselves from being involved in them because both of us are gutsy fighters.
"The fans will be the winners."
