Louis Norman faces Charlie Edwards, there's a Carshalton grudge match and much more on Saturday's undercard. Here's what the fighters are saying....

Ricky Boylan 

The Carshalton light-welterweight is hoping to put his career back on track with a victory over local rival Danny 'Cassius' Connor. Boylan jetted out to Tenerife to work with new trainer Jamie Moore and knows he can't afford another setback after defeats by Tyler Goodjohn and Tommy Martin.

Ricky says: "There are local bragging rights at stake, it's a grudge match. For this training camp, I've trained my heart out and I've got to take that into the ring on Saturday night.

"This could be the best fight of the night. Danny has been involved in some good fights and likewise so have I. 

"There are three or four of us from the area, all light-welterweights. Obviously Tony Owen beat him - he's from our area too - then I beat Tony for the Southern Area title in the fourth round. I'll be the king of Carshalton if I win this one."

Connor is another respected Carshalton fighter and admits that plenty of pride will be at stake when he joins Boylan in the ring. The Prizefighter finalist has lifted the lid on their feud and hopes to have the final word.

Danny says: "We've fallen out but I don't care. We've fallen out in the past when we were kids, like 18 or 19 - young boys. We went our separate ways and as we've got closer with the boxing rivalry, we're now worst enemies!

"I couldn't care less about the animosity. I just want to get in there and do my job. It will affect reputations in Carshalton because we've both won the Southern Area titles and we have mutual friends. It won't matter in the long run though and doesn't matter to me more than any other fight.

"I wanted the fight because I wanted to prove that I'm a better fighter than him."

Charlie Edwards

The former Team GB fighter is already in his fifth fight since making his professional debut in January and he continues his fast-track progress by challenging Louis Norman for the English flyweight title. Edwards believes he is well prepared for his first title clash after sparring sessions with top Irish amateurs Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon.

"Everyone is looking forward to seeing this fight. They can expect an Edwards win. One way or another, I'm going to walk away with that title. It's staying in London. 

"Louis Norman has said he's going to knock me out, but talk is cheap and I'll do my work in the gym. I'll silence him and it's going to be exciting."

Tommy Martin

The Essex-born light-welterweight risks his unbeaten record against the dangerous Michael Devine, but is confident that he can hold his own in a firefight. Martin insists Devine will not stand in the way of his ambitious title plans.

"Expect fireworks on Saturday. He thinks he's a puncher, but he's got the same amount of knockouts as me on his record. The difference is, he's got three losses and I promise you I'm going to put on a show for everyone and do a number on him. I'm here to absolutely shine on Saturday night.

"I take one fight at a time. I've got to get Michael Devine out of the way first and in good style so I can go on to bigger and better things."

Reece Bellotti

Watford super-featherweight Bellotti made his professional debut in May and having scored quick-fire stoppages in his first two bouts, is already living up to his nickname 'Bomber'. On Saturday, he attempts to become the first man to stop France's Adel Hadjouis.

Bellotti says: "I just walked in and it's mad. Last time I was here was James DeGale v George Groves. I don't know how to take it at the minute! Backstage I'll be fine but when I come out, I'll have to adjust.

"To stop him would be ideal but I won't go looking for it or I might get sloppy. I'll take it as it comes and put it on him and just see what happens. I've been learning to sit on my shots a bit more and using my hips, twisting in to shots. It's repetitive so you do it more naturally."

Jake Ball

The Surrey light-heavyweight has been sparring with world super-middleweight champion James DeGale and is hoping to come out for his professional debut with all guns blazing. He will be expected to put Haidar Sadik away but is relishing the challenge.

Ball says: "It's unbelievable to be here. I can imagine the crowd will be buzzing and it's going to be amazing. I've been chatting to Jim McDonnell and I'm going out there to just box how I box. The test will be dealing with the stage. I'll have to feel it out because until fight night, I won't know.

"My team have told me that if I go out there and try to impress too much, looking for big shots, then they just won't come. How I box is about speed. I'm fast so if the stoppage comes, then it comes. I'm pretty sure it will but if it doesn't, then I've got a good four rounds in the bank."

Lucien Reid

East London super-bantamweight Lucien Reid is hoping to make a big impact in the professional ranks after an impressive amateur career. He returns to the O2 for the second fight of his professional career and is keen to attract new fans.

Lucien says: "This is my second card at the O2. I was on the May 30th bill with Kevin Mitchell and that was the biggest card I've ever seen. Now I'm on this card with up and coming fighters like myself, Charlie Edwards and Louis Norman.   

"I'm an exciting fighter, I'm a puncher and as soon as you see me fight, you'll want to come and watch me again."
