10 years in the making - Billam-Smith's revenge mission

Billam-Smith has lost twice in 22 fights as a professional and enjoyed an 18-month stint as WBO cruiserweight world champion.

His reign came to an end when attempting to unify against WBA 'super' champion Gilberto Ramirez in November 2024, but Billam-Smith maintains an ambition to return to the highest level.

After bouncing back to beat Brandon Glanton in April 2025, Billam-Smith signed with Zuffa Boxing and stopped Ryan Rozicki on his debut in June.

Billam-Smith's decision to join the Zuffa Boxing ranks was partly motivated by the possibility of facing WBA 'regular' champion Jai Opetaia.

Australia's Opetaia, who also moved to the promotion in January, has been a long-term target for the Englishman.
