Billam-Smith is ready to fight any opponent

WBO world heavyweight champion Chris Billam-Smith (18-1, 12 KOs) referred to the information that appeared in the media about a possible fight with Mateusz Masternak (47-5, 31 KOs). According to unofficial data, the fight may take place in mid-October in England.

“It seems that my promoters guaranteed Richard Riakpo an IBF belt fight against Jai Opetai and promised Masternak a fight with me. I received such an offer, but I think that it still needs to be finalized financially, ”said the Briton.

“I have nothing against the fight with Masterneck. It's a great name and a potentially great fight, but I'll beat him like I would any other fighter in the world. Masternak has an excellent track record, he has more knockouts than I have in professional fights. He is experienced and can be a challenge for any boxer. It will be a tough battle, but there are no easy encounters on this level. I have nothing against such a fight, I have never refused to fight any opponent, ”added Billam-Smith.

Billam-Smith won the WBO belt in May by defeating Lawrence Okoli on points. The Englishman has a contract for one more fight with the promotional organization Boxxer.
