ZUFFA BOXING 12: BILLAM-SMITH VS. CLARKE features a crossroads cruiserweight battle with world title implications. Billam-Smith (22-2, 14 KOs), from Bournemouth, England, is a former world champion who has won two fights since losing his title. In June at ZUFFA BOXING 06, he knocked out Ryan Rozicki following the seventh round of a modern classic. Clarke (12-2, 9 KOs), 35, returns to the ring following a come-from-behind stoppage over Jack Massey on the Billam-Smith-Rozicki bill. Tokyo Olympian Clarke went 2-0 over Billam-Smith as an amateur, including a decision in the final of the 2016 English National Championships.
In other ZUFFA BOXING 12 action:
Zuffa’s newest signee, rising cruiserweight Lucas Roehrig (9-0, 5 KOs), will fight Scotland’s Connal McDonald (5-1, 1 KO) in an eight-rounder.
Scottish middleweight phenom Sam Hickey (6-0, 3 KOs) and American heavyweight destroyer Da’Mazion Vanhouter (13-0, 10 KOs) will face opponents to be named in eight-rounders. Vanhouter had an eye-opening performance on the Garcia vs. Benn card earlier this month, demolishing Raphael Akpejiori in the first round.
British light heavyweight contender Zach Parker will face unbeaten puncher Umar Dzambekov in a 10-rounder. Parker (26-2, 18 KOs), a former British super middleweight champion, makes his Zuffa Boxing debut following a controversial decision defeat last November to Olympic bronze medalist Joshua Buatsi. Dzambekov (14-0, 10 KOs) is a southpaw knockout machine who grew up in Austria and now trains out of Los Angeles. He has stopped five of his last six foes, and in February, he delivered a crunching second-round KO over Ahmed Elbiali on ZUFFA BOXING 03.
Additional information on the event will be announced in the coming weeks.
The event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada.
