Former WBO cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith will take on Canadian Ryan Rozicki.
Zuffa Boxing 07 will be headlined by Chris Billam-Smith vs. Ryan Rozicki at the Bournemouth International Centre. The event will be Zuffa Boxing's first ever outing to the United Kingdom since their inaugural event in January.
Billam-Smith (21-2) will be fighting in his hometown of Bournemouth. A former WBO cruiserweight champion, he claimed the belt in 2023 and defended it twice before losing it to Gilberto Ramirez in late 2024. Alike his opponent, he will be making his Zuffa Boxing debut with the aim to assert himself into the title picture.
Rozicki (21-1-1) travels across the globe to take on the former champion in his backyard. A prominent finisher inside the boxing ring, the 20 out of 21 of the Canadian's wins have come via way of knockout. 'The Bruiser' previously fought Yamil Alberto Peralta for the WBC interim Cruiser Title in 2024, a fight which ended in a draw. A win against Billam-Smith would extend his win streak to 10 straight and be the biggest win of his career so far.
The Zuffa Boxing 07 card will begin at 5pm BST, with the main card starting at 7pm, available to watch on Sky Sports.
Prelim Playthrough
Alex Macmillan started the card off in dominant fashion, stopping Leo Fanthome (7-2) in 2nd round 'The Villain' scored two knockdowns in the 1st round before a flurry of combinations saw the fight called off in the second. Improving his pro record to 4-0.
Leon Hughes (5-0) spent three rounds putting on a decisive performance over the tough Vergiev (8-5), who pushed forward throughout. Hughes showboated, proving that his speed and boxing ability was vastly too much for the Bulgarian.
