Ryan and Liam Walsh want to use the biggest night of their careers so far to put Norfolk boxing in the spotlight.
The Cromer twins both defend their British titles at The Copper Box in London tomorrow night.

A row has broken out about the resurfacing of part of Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile.
Marine Parade was cobbled with granite outside the Britannia Pier in a regeneration scheme, 10 years ago. But Norfolk County Council says the road had become badly worn and dangerous - and has replaced the granite with asphalt.
Michael Cole, who runs the Joyland fun park next to the new road surface, says he was led to believe the seafront was going to a more pedestrian-friendly zone, with the cobbles eventually extending to Wellington Pier to slow the traffic - but it's now been turned back into a plain road.
Norfolk fisheries say they are having to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds to protect their lakes from otters.
The mammals live in rivers but can get into ponds and lakes, killing fish stocks. Since the 1980s, otters have been re-introduced to watercourses, and after a decline in the 1950s and 1960s they are now a protected species.
David Wilby, who runs a fishery near Lenwade, has spent over £75,000 putting up two miles (3km) of fencing around two lakes.
After a dry and sunny start, it will become cloudy with scattered wintry showers, possibly with hail.
Maximum temperature: 10C (50F).
