Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) and Rozicki (21-1-1, 20 KOs) pits two of The Ring's top-five rated cruiserweights against one another in an intriguing headliner at Bournemouth International Centre.

Both cruiserweights inked multi-fight deals with Zuffa earlier this month, aware that Ring champion Jai Opetaia holds the promotional company's inaugural belt after outclassing Brandon Glanton in Las Vegas on March 8.

Billam-Smith is The Ring's No. 2-rated contender trailing Opetaia and former foe Gilberto Ramirez, who outpointed him during a grueling WBO/WBA title unification in November 2024. Rozicki meanwhile sits No. 5 at 200 pounds.

Bournemouth-based former world titleholder Billam-Smith made the BIC a fortress under the BOXXER promotional banner before clinching WBO honors against Lawrence Okolie in 2023, scoring gritty wins over Isaac Chamberlain (UD12), Armend Xhoxhaj (KO5) and Mateusz Masternak (RTD8) along the south Coast in a 17-month spell.

Having outworked Glanton himself to score a wide points win on the Chris Eubank Jr-Conor Benn I undercard, he's naturally excited to end a year-long absence among home comforts with a familiar broadcaster in Sky Sports.

In a press release, the 35-year-old 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 meanwhile, ended his own injury lay-off with a second-round stoppage of Chile's Gerardo Mellado last month on a club show in Canada and the 31-year-old backs himself to deliver a career-best win on enemy territory.

"It's a tough fight and that's exactly what I wanted when I signed with Zuffa Boxing," he said in the same release.

"I know what he brings and I respect that, but he hasn't been in there with someone like me. I'm focused on my work, taking it day-by-day, and I'll be ready on fight night. The fans are going to get a real fight."

Their 10-round headline bout will mark Zuffa's first show outside U.S. territories, being streamed on Sky Sports in the UK and Paramount+ across the U.S. and Canada.
