## Summary

Chev Clarke stopped former cruiserweight world champion Chris Billam-Smith in the seventh round of their all-British non-title fight in London. Billam-Smith was knocked down twice, and after he got back to his feet and took further punches, the referee intervened; Billam-Smith protested the stoppage, while promoter Dana White later said it may have come too early.

Clarke’s win repeats his victory over Billam-Smith in an amateur bout a decade ago and gives him 13 professional wins against two defeats. It is the third professional loss for Billam-Smith, who previously lost to Gilberto Ramirez in 2024 and Richard Riakporhe in 2019. On the undercard, Denzel Bentley beat Shane Mosley Jr by unanimous decision, with judges scoring it 96-94, 96-93 and 95-94.
