BISH BASH BOSC

CHRIS BILLAM-SMITH will head to 'Bosc Vegas' morning for this pancakes, dreaming that he can aim for Las Vegas next to flatten Gilberto Ramirez.

"From Bosc Vegas to Las Vegas," said the WBO cruiserweight champion after he retained his title and got revenge against Richard Riakporhe at Selhurst Park on Saturday night.

Billam-Smith was referring to the area of Boscombe in his beloved home of Bournemouth (below) which is known by locals as 'Bosc Vegas'.

The Cherries fan had his professional debut at the O2 Academy which resides in that area of the south-coast town and won the WBO title by beating Lawrence Okolie at the Vitality Stadium there.

While his favourite breakfast spot Cafe Boscanova will be visited this morning as the celebrations continue. "Drop the boy to nursery and go there for breakfast," he said.
