Chris Billam-Smith has signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing and will make his promotional debut live on Sky Sports in the coming weeks. The 35-year-old cruiserweight, who holds a 21-2 (13) record, joins the new promotional powerhouse after losing his WBO title to Gilberto Ramirez last year.

Billam-Smith rebounded with a victory over Brandon Glanton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has built a reputation as one of Britain's most exciting fighters. Trained by Shane McGuigan, he has won British, Commonwealth, European and world titles while routinely fighting in front of sold-out crowds in his hometown of Bournemouth.

The former world champion expressed his enthusiasm about the move, stating it's about proving he is the best in the world. Billam-Smith's Zuffa Boxing bouts will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, marking a significant step in his career as he seeks to reclaim world championship status.
