Zuffa Boxing continues to invest in the cruiserweight division.
Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke will meet in the co-main event of Zuffa Boxing 07 on June 6, it was announced on Tuesday, providing chief support to the cruiserweight clash between Ring-ranked contenders Chris Billam-Smith (No. 3) and Ryan Rozicki (No. 6).
The battle between British cruiserweight contenders Massey and Clarke will take place at Bournemouth International Centre in England and broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the United States and Canada.
Massey (23-3, 13 KOs) bounced back from a sixth-round stoppage loss to Jai Opetaia in October 2024 last time out in November with a fourth-round knockout of Ivan Gabriel Garcia. Massey entered the encounter against Opetaia off a career-best unanimous decision win over Isaac Chamberlain four months prior. The 33-year-old's only other losses have come against Joseph Parker in 2023 and Richard Riakporhe in 2019, both by unanimous decision.
“Chev Clarke is a fight that really excites me,” Massey said in a statement. “Everyone loves a domestic clash, and this bout will propel me right back in the mix for another shot at the world title. Zuffa has a great plan for me, and it all starts here.”
Clarke (11-2, 8 KOs), a 2020 Olympian, has endured a rocky run of late, losing decisions to Leonardo Mosquea in December 2024 and Viddal Riley in April 2025. The 35-year-old southpaw got back into the win column last time out in December with a fourth-round knockout of Anthony Hollaway.
“This is a new chapter, and I’m ready to show the best of myself," Clarke said in a statement.
