Chris Billam-Smith returns to his hometown of Bournemouth on June 6 to face Canadian knockout artist Ryan Rozicki, live on Sky Sports. The cruiserweight showdown headlines ZUFFA BOXING 07 at the Bournemouth International Centre, marking Zuffa Boxing's first UK event. Billam-Smith, 21-2 with 13 knockouts, captured British, Commonwealth and European honours before winning world gold in 2023.

The Bournemouth fighter has built a reputation for delivering exciting performances at stadium venues, notably beating Lawrence Okolie at the Vitality Stadium to claim his first world title and defeating Richard Riakporhe at Selhurst Park. After a loss to Gilberto Ramirez in Saudi Arabia, he returned to beat Brandon Glanton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year. Billam-Smith has fought in Bournemouth eight times, including three sold-out events at the BIC.

Rozicki carries a 21-1-1 record with 20 knockouts - 19 of those coming in three rounds or less. The Canadian has never lost at cruiserweight, with his sole defeat coming against Oscar Rivas in a 2021 bridgerweight bout. Since then, he's won nine straight fights with seven stoppages. "It's a tough fight, and that's exactly what I wanted when I signed with Zuffa Boxing," Rozicki said. The event marks Zuffa Boxing's expansion onto UK soil.
