The cruiserweight bout between Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke has been announced as the co-feature at Zuffa Boxing 7 on June 6 at the BIC in Bournemouth, England. The event marks the promotion’s debut in the UK. The contest is scheduled for 10 rounds.
Massey (23-3, 13 KOs) of England won his previous bout by fourth-round TKO against Ivan Gabriel Garcia on the undercard of Clarke vs TKV last November. With the victory, the 33-year-old bounced back from a stoppage defeat to Jai Opetaia in his attempt to claim the IBF 200-pound title in October 2024.
Jamaican-born British-French Clarke (11-2, 8 KOs) is coming off a fourth-round knockout victory against Anthony Hollaway last December on the undercard of Pacheco vs Sadjo. With the win, the 35-year-old southpaw rebounded from decision losses to Viddal Riley and Leonardo Mosquea.
The Zuffa Boxing 7 main event is a cruiserweight bout between British former WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) and former title challenger Ryan Rozicki (21-1-1, 20 KOs) of Canada.
Other bouts featured on the card are expected to be announced shortly.
