Billam-Smith: "This victory is for you, mom"

Chris Billam-Smith commented on his victory over Lawrence Okoli this weekend in his native Bournemouth: “I was in bed all week. I didn't eat anything from Tuesday to Thursday. I didn't have the strength. I want to dedicate this victory to my mother, who now has breast cancer. Mom, this is for you, I love you very much.

Lawrence Okoli, in turn, said that he intends to activate the rematch clause, which was included in the contract for the fight, in order to fight Chris Billam-Smith again for the WBO world heavyweight title.
