What time is Chris Billam-Smith v Ryan Rozicki on and how to watch

Darren Durber Published: 1 hour ago

Home favourite Chris Billam-Smith returns to the ring for the first time in over 12 months this weekend, when the former world champion makes his Zuffa Boxing debut against Canada's Ryan Rozicki.

The card represents Zuffa's UK debut and features a number of exciting British prospects, headlined by Bournemouth native Billam-Smith, as the 35-year-old tries to work his way back to world title contention.

Standing in his way is the formidable figure of Rozicki, who is known as a knockout artist on the other side of the Atlantic. The 31-year-old has ended 20 of his 21 wins via stoppage and could prove a tricky opponent for the Gentleman.

The winner of the bout looks set to be awarded a shot at the cruiserweight world title, which, barring any shocks, will be against the unbeaten division boogeyman Jai Opetaia.
