Bournemouth is not fertile ground for world champions. Freddie Mills, former light heavyweight world champion, might just have company on Saturday night in the shape of cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith.
Fearless Freddie won the title at White City in 1948 and held it for a year before losing it against fellow Brit Bruce Woodcock in the same arena.
Billam-Smith is hoping home advantage at his beloved Vitality Stadium will swing the domestic showdown against WBO champion Lawrence Okolie his way.
