Billam-Smith Sets Sights on Opetaia After Zuffa Signing

Following his signing with Zuffa Boxing, Chris Billam-Smith has expressed his desire to face Jai Opetaia, aiming to solidify his position 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 was 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 names in the cruiserweight division and their shared 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 returning to the ring in the UK and eventually fighting in his hometown of Bournemouth.
