Zuffa Boxing is heading across the pond for the upstart promotion’s debut show on British soil.
Chris Billam-Smith headlines the bill against heavy-handed Canadian Ryan Rozicki in a homecoming bout that promises to produce fireworks.
Aptly nicknamed ‘The Bruiser’, Rozicki only knows one way to fight.
The 31-year-old, while not the most refined pugilist, is relentless in his pursuit of the stoppage.
2O of Rozicki’s 21 wins (21-1) have come inside the distance, with 18 in the opening three rounds.
Yet he has never fought anyone close to the calibre of Billam-Smith.
The Bournemouth boxer is tried and tested at the elite level and held the WBO cruiserweight title for 18 months.
Billam-Smith was eventually dethroned by Gilberto Ramirez in November 2024.
But ‘The Gentleman’ rebounded a year later with a victory over Brandon Glanton on the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn I undercard.
Billam Smith vs Rozicki: Date and venue
Billam-Smith will lock horns with Rozicki at Bournemouth International Centre on Saturday, June 6.
Whoever emerges victorious is likely to land a shot at Zuffa’s premium cruiserweight, Jai Opetaia.
Billam-Smith vs Rozicki: Where to watch and start time
All of the action will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and Paramount+ in the US.

Billam-Smith and Rozicki are expected to make their ring walks at around 9.30pm.

Billam-Smith vs Rozicki: What has been said?
Billam-Smith said: “This is a huge opportunity for me back in front of my amazing supporters.
“Sky Sports know just how incredible these fight nights are in Bournemouth, and this one will be no different.
“Zuffa Boxing is all about proper fights under the lights, and that’s exactly what Rozicki brings to the table.”
Rozicki said: “When we’re staring down, I just think about what I’m going to do to someone. I’m not trying to intimidate them.
“I’m just looking at them, thinking about the facial structure and breaking the bones in the face or whatever.
“Scars will show what side he’s vulnerable on. You can see a lot, you can see where they can’t see punches coming from, things like that. That’s what it is for me.”
