Zuffa Boxing is taking its show on the road as two of its recently signed cruiserweights will go head-to-head on June 6 at the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England. Former WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) will take on Ryan Rozicki (21-1-1, 20 KOs) in a scheduled ten-round bout, live on Paramount+ and Sky Sports (UK).
Zuffa Boxing 07 will make their UK debut on this card as they look to expand their audience across the pond. Billam-Smith is the right guy to do that, as he has fought in Bournemouth eight times, making him a familiar name in the area. Here are some quotes from Billam-Smith following the announcement of this fight card.
“I’m coming home. This is a huge opportunity for me back in front of my amazing supporters. Sky Sports know just how incredible these fight nights are in Bournemouth and this one will be no different,” said Chris Billam-Smith. “Zuffa Boxing is all about proper fights under the lights and that’s exactly what Rozicki brings to the table.”
Rozicki knows he is in for a tough fight but is ready for the test.
“It’s a tough fight, and that’s exactly what I wanted when I signed with Zuffa Boxing,” Rozicki said. “I know what he brings, and I respect that. But he hasn’t been in there with someone like me. I’m focused on my work, taking it day by day, and I’ll be ready on fight night. The fans are going to get a real fight.”
Zuffa also announced that information regarding the rest of the card will be released soon, and the ticket information for the event is below.
