It tells you how much Chris Billam-Smith captured the imagination of the Bournemouth public, football legend Harry Redknapp left Poole for the night to attend a fight for the first time since I won my world title at Loftus Road 38 years ago.
Harry told me that his mates dragged him along to top London nightclub Stringfellows after I beat Eusebio Pedroza. He never went back there either.
Billam-Smith is on a well-earned holiday before deciding his next steps. For a lad like him, who never expected to win a national title never mind beat Lawrence Okolie for the WBO cruiserweight belt, there is a lot to take in.
