Zuffa Boxing have confirmed the full card for their first UK show which will be headlined by Chris Billam-Smith vs Ryan Rozicki in Bournemouth on Saturday, June 6.
Billam-Smith returns to his hometown to fight Canada’s Rozicki, a destructive puncher, at the Bournemouth International Centre, live on Sky Sports.
It will be Billam-Smith’s first fight for over a year and he is looking to revitalise his career, having previously been cruiserweight world champion in 2023 and 2024.
The preliminary card showcases the return of heavyweight contender Ivan Dychko, who takes on the unbeaten Brit Harvey Dykes, with the winner taking a step towards a major fight.
The 6-foot-9 Dychko (15-1, 14 KOs), a two-time Olympic bronze medallist from Kazakhstan, can put his career firmly back on track after a surprise loss to Jermaine Franklin in September 2025.
Dykes turned professional in 2023 after capturing super heavyweight gold at the English National Amateur Championships.
In the 10-round cruiserweight co-feature, Jack Massey (23-3, 13 KOs) will face the battle-tested Chev Clarke (11-2, 8 KOs).
The three-fight preliminary card will take place from 5pm with Alex MacMillan v before the main card starts at 7pm with Sam Hickey facing Todd Tompkins.
The ring walks for the main event of Billam-Smith against Ryan Rozicki is set to begin at around 10pm.
