Chris Billam-Smith eyes future fight with Jai Opetaia: 'You can only make a statement against the biggest names'

Chris Billam-Smith will return to boxing rejuvenated and looking to "make a statement against the biggest names".

Those ambitions include boxing Jai Opetaia, widely regarded as the best fighter in the cruiserweight division.

Billam-Smith and Opetaia have been linked to a possible fight against each other before, when they both held world titles in 2024. Australia's Opetaia has criticised the Briton for not fighting him back then.
