Watch the preliminary bouts ahead of Chris Billam-Smith vs Cheavon Clarke at the Copper Box Arena this Saturday, live on Sky Sports. The streamed undercard features British light-heavyweight contender Zach Parker facing unbeaten puncher Umar Dzambekov in a tremendous clash. Plus, Masood Abdulah fights 14-1 American contender Adan Palma, and Vinnie "King of Violence" Kemp makes his pro debut against Liam Mc Elhinney.
Both Billam-Smith and Clarke are coming off victories in thrilling bouts last time out. Billam-Smith came through a bruising battle with the ferocious Ryan Rozicki in June, while Clarke rose from the canvas twice to take out Jack Massey on the same bill. Clarke, who raced to winning the British title in nine fights, is looking to take his career to a new level.
Billam-Smith is a former world champion, seeking to return to the summit of the division. But he also has a score to settle with Clarke. The man from Gravesend handed him a painful amateur defeat in the final of the 2016 national elite championships, and Billam-Smith wants his revenge.
On the televised undercard, London's Denzel Bentley fights Shane Mosley Jr, son of boxing legend Shane Mosley, in a world-class middleweight clash. American heavyweight destroyer Da'Mazion Vanhouter will face Ivan Balaz. Vanhouter had an eye-opening performance on the Garcia vs Benn card in September, demolishing Raphael Akpejiori in the first round.
Scottish middleweight phenom Sam Hickey boxes Amaury Massenaux, while Kayla Allen has her second professional fight against Julia Igel. Rising cruiserweight Lucas Roehrig will fight Scottish champion Connal Mc Donald in an eight-rounder. Watch Billam-Smith vs Clarke from 7pm live on Sky Sports.
