Chris Billam-Smith: “I should be one fight away from having a world title shot”

Former cruiserweight world champion Chris Billam-Smith has shared his thoughts on a potential bout against Sweden’s Robin Safar.

“I’ve seen little bits of [Safar] – obviously he’s a good fighter. He’s still unbeaten. I haven’t seen much of him, and once again, if it makes sense and it leads on to something, then we can look at that fight, for sure.

It’s not like I’m in the position to go, ‘Right, I want world champions and world champions only,’ but I’m also not far off it. Fights have got to lead to that, so I should be one fight away from having a world title shot,” Billam-Smith said.

Recently it was reported that Chris Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) will return to the ring in February. The exact date, opponent’s name and venue have yet to be announced.
