Billam-Smith Sets Sights on Opetaia After Joining Zuffa

Following his signing with Zuffa Boxing, Chris Billam-Smith has expressed his desire to face Jai Opetaia, aiming to prove himself as the world's best. Billam-Smith, a former WBO cruiserweight champion, is set to fight live on Sky Sports after inking a deal with Zuffa. His most recent victory came against Brandon Glanton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Opetaia, also a Zuffa fighter, recently became the inaugural Zuffa world cruiserweight champion with a win over Glanton. Billam-Smith believes that a fight between the two is inevitable, given their status as top cruiserweight contenders under the same promoter. He stated, 'We're two of the biggest names in the cruiserweight division. We're both signed under the same promoter.' Billam-Smith has been training since January and is eager to announce his next fight soon, with the goal of eventually competing in the UK. He has a multi-fight deal with Zuffa and is looking to use this opportunity to prove himself as the best in the world by beating top opponents like Opetaia.
