Billam-Smith Sets Sights on Opetaia After Joining Zuffa

Following his signing with Zuffa Boxing, Chris Billam-Smith is eager to face Jai Opetaia, aiming to solidify his position as the world's best. Billam-Smith, a former WBO cruiserweight champion, will now compete live on Sky Sports. 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. Billam-Smith expressed his desire to fight Opetaia, citing their shared promoter and the opportunity to prove himself as the best in the world. With a multi-fight deal with Zuffa, Billam-Smith is looking to return to the ring after over a year, having been in training camp since January, and is eager to announce his next fight soon. He hopes to eventually fight in the UK, specifically in his hometown of Bournemouth, where he has had some of his most notable career highlights.
