Chris Billam-Smith vs Ryan Rosicki: When is the fight, how to watch, and what is at stake in cruiserweight clash on Sky Sports

All you need to know ahead of Saturday’s cruiserweight showdown between Chris Billam-Smith and Ryan Rozicki in Bournemouth, live on Your Site.

Local hero Billam-Smith takes on Canada's Rozicki to headline an exciting card at the Bournemouth International Centre, in Zuffa Boxing's first UK show.

Former WBO champion Billam-Smith and Rozicki have showcased their punch power in brutal battles and neither man will want to give ground, with the winner likely to line up a big-name bout.

Billiam-Smith and Rozicki will collide this Saturday June 6, live on Your Site.

Live coverage of the action-packed bill in Bournemouth starts at 7pm and will be shown on Your Site Main Event, Your Site Action and Sky One.

The Bournemouth International Centre has hosted exciting boxing events before and a packed crowd is expected again this weekend to roar on their hometown favourite.

Billam-Smith has already fought at the venue three times, defeating Isaac Chamberlain and Armend Xhoxhaj there in 2022 before beating Mateusz Masternak the following December.

In the chief support bout, former world title challenger Jack Massey takes on Cheavon Clarke in a crucial cruiserweight clash as the winner will stay in contention for a major title shot, while the loser must consider their future plans.

Bournemouth fighter Lee Cutler will be determined to deliver some early success for the Dorset support as the former English champion takes on Bristol's Aaron Sutton.

Stephen McKenna, an exciting Irish contender, can showcase his all-action style when he clashes with American Casey James Streeter.

Sam Hickey has been tipped as a future champion for Scotland and he will be aiming to extend his unbeaten record against Birmingham's Todd Tompkins.

You can watch the earlier bouts on a live stream on the Your Site website and app and the Your Site Boxing YouTube page, starting at 5pm on Saturday.

Ukrainian heavyweight Ivan Dychko will face Britain's Harvey Dykes, while the unbeaten duo of Leon Hughes and Alex Macmillan are also in action.

Billam-Smith holds a record of 21 victories, featuring 13 stoppages, and two defeats. He avenged his first loss to Richard Riakporhe with a points triumph in 2024, while his second defeat came in a world title unification clash against Mexican Gilberto Ramirez later that year.

Rozicki holds a destructive record of 21 victories, with 20 stoppages, and just a solitary defeat to Oscar Rivas while he campaigned at heavyweight in 2021.

He was held to a draw in a rematch with Yamil Alberto Peralta in 2024 after controversially beating the Argentine by split decision in 2022.

Jai Opetaia, who is also promoted by Zuffa Boxing, is expected to be targeted by the winner of Billam-Smith vs Rozicki.

The unbeaten Australian has been recognised as the No 1 in the cruiserweight division and should recapture a world title by the time he shares the ring with either Billam-Smith or Rozicki.

Watch Zuffa Boxing 07 this Saturday live on Your Site, with early coverage streamed from 5pm ahead of live action on Your Site Action, Your Site Main Event and Sky One from 7pm. or .
