Bournemouth’s best Chris Billam Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) faces Canadian KO artist Ryan Rozicki (21-1-1, 20 KOs) over 10-rounds at cruiserweight, this Saturday night, June 6, in Bournemouth, live on Sky Sports.
‘The Gentleman’ and ‘The Bruiser’ will headline the first Zuffa Boxing show in England, supported by another cracking cruiserweight clash in Jack Massey vs Cheavon Clarke.
Trained by Shane McGuigan, CBS has only fought once in the past 18 months, which was a hard-fought victory over durable American Brandon Glanton, winning on all three cards at Spurs’ stadium – 116-112 x2, 116-113.
That served as his comeback fight from losing his WBO world title to Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez in 2024, remarkably with the exact same scores as his last fight, except reversed.
Prior to that, Billam-Smith had defeated Tommy McCarthy twice, Isaac Chamberlain, world champ Lawrence Okolie, stopped Mateusz Masternak in eight, and exacted revenge over Richard Riakporhe. That incredible run of wins saw him collect British, Commonwealth, European and WBO World titles!
‘The Bruiser’ from Canada has lost only once during his 10-year pro career to Colombian Oscar Rivas almost five years ago in 2021. That fight was for the obscure WBC bridgerweight world title and the Canadian was staggered more than once during the gruelling contest. It’s those moments where he showed his heart; he took big shots, stayed standing and even kept coming forward.
The 31-year-old born in Nova Scotia has defeated the likes of Yamil Alberto Peralta and Olanrewaju Durodola, but doesn’t possess any really impressive names on his record yet.
In 2024, he had a rematch with Peralta for the WBC Interim cruiserweight title, but the judges couldn’t be split at ringside, so no one walked away with that version of the world title. Rozicki was aggressive and positive on the night, but Peralta was constantly holding and making it scrappy.
Rozicki also has only fought once in the past 18 months, but his was far more recent in March this year, scoring a quick KO in round two, only requiring four minutes to get the job done.
That 20th knockout from 21 victories took his KO ratio up to 95%. Ryan believes that his style of boxing came from his early days as an amateur and constantly fighting bigger guys than him. He felt that he had to swarm them and land the biggest shots to stand any chance of winning against such bigger opponents.
This battle in Bournemouth is all set to be a war of attrition between two big, tough men, who don’t know how to quit. But they do know how to fight!
If their two styles have taught us anything, it’s that these two are going to meet in the middle and take turns on each other until either one of them gets knocked out or the final bell goes to end a spectacular war.
It’s hard to envisage either of them taking a backwards step, so it’s very possible they will lock horns in the middle and stay there for the full 30 minutes.
Billam-Smith has achieved everything there is to achieve in the sport. He has every title in the trophy cabinet and after headlining in his hometown a few times, I hope he also has everything he needs in his bank account too.
I sometimes find him hard to watch when he takes so many head shots, but he is tough and tenacious and just keeps on going. I think this could be a brutal war of attrition with each man refusing to give ground and just trading toe-to-toe, punch-for-punch. They are both hittable, so each man is bound to end the fight battered and bruised.
With the roar of the home crowd behind him, plus the greater experience at the top level, I am picking Billam-Smith to grind out a decision win.
Prediction: Billam-Smith to win
Extra Tip: Billam-Smith by decision
Bonus Tip: With the rounds potentially difficult to score, with the action potentially going and back and forth, betting on a draw could be worth a punt, especially when the odds are always higher for that infrequent outcome.

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
