British cruiserweight contenders Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke will meet in a high-stakes showdown on Saturday, June 6, at Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, England. The 10-rounder will serve as the co-feature to the previously announced Zuffa Boxing 07 main event between Bournemouth-born former world champion Chris Billam-Smith and Canadian KO artist Ryan Rozicki.

Fans are encouraged to register their interest early for the best chance to secure tickets via ZuffaBoxing.com. Tickets will go on sale at 10am BST on Friday, May 8 via BIC.co.uk, while those who registered their interest early will get access at 10am BST on Thursday, May 7.

The card will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada.

Massey (23-3, 13 KOs) is a former Commonwealth and European champion. A 13-year pro, he captured those titles in June 2024 with a decision over Isaac Chamberlain on the undercard of Billam-Smith’s victory over Richard Riakporhe. Four months later, Massey challenged Jai Opetaia for the world title, putting forth a game effort before being stopped in round six. He rebounded from the Opetaia setback with a fourth-round TKO over Ivan Gabriel Garcia last November.

Clarke (11-2, 8 KOs) had a standout amateur career for Team GB, nabbing a silver medal at the 2017 European Games and a bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. He turned pro in 2022 after competing at the Tokyo Olympics and won the British title in his ninth pro bout. Clarke is coming off a fourth-round KO over Anthony Holloway last December.

“Chev Clarke is a fight that really excites me,” Massey said. “Everyone loves a domestic clash, and this bout, live on Sky Sports, will propel me right back in the mix for another shot at the world title. Zuffa has a great plan for me, and it all starts here.”

Clarke said, “Thank you to my team and Zuffa for getting this over the line. This is a new chapter, and I’m ready to show the best of myself on Sky Sports.”
