"We're going to bring a level of professionalism to the event - proper lighting, proper sound, security. We have the best boxers in the island and we're going to have the best promotion. We're working with Stages Promotions. They know how to promote, and I have worked with Sumfest over the years, so I know how to plan and produce an event. So we've put three great elements together to produce a great event," he said.

Russell suggested that the boxers are promising to raise their respective game for the occasion.

Contender champion, Smith, who has been relatively inactive since he won the crown in May, said he had been working hard and was ready to fight come December 4. Having not fought competitively for more than six months, he said he was not very worried about ring rust.

"Rust is not really a must. I've been training, and once you have been training, you're keeping your edge, and that's a good thing," he said.

"I've been working with Sub-Zero, one of my gym mates soon to go pro. I've also been working with a lot more amateurs, schooling them and training hard. So we're down there at Hard Knocks training pretty hard, so come fight day, everyone is going to show their talent and do their thing."

For his part, Mullings last fought on September 24 when he beat Lloyd Smith in Stony Hill. His preparation for his fight against Ian Smith has not been the best, he said.

"I would have liked to have had more sparring and fine-tune things in the ring, but the communication in the negotiation for this fight broke down, so I was on, I was off, and now I am on again. So it wasn't the best training camp, but I was able to get work done that I needed to get done. I'm in good shape. I'm ready physically, mentally. I am ready to fight," he says.
