Ahead of the Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak clash on Sunday night, boxing fans want to know if there are any world title belts on the line. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the Billam-Smith vs Masternak fight, including which world cruiserweight title is at stake on fight night.
What Belts Are On The Line In The Chris Billam-Smith vs Mateusz Masternak Fight?
Having successfully defeated former teammate Lawrence Okolie last time out back in May, Chris Billam-Smith became world champion at the first time of asking.
Okolie was previously the long-reigning champion at 200-pounds, holding the WBO World Cruiserweight Title. ‘The Gentleman’ defeated ‘The Sauce’ on points on May 27th, knocking Okolie down three times in the process too.
This meant that at the first time of asking, Chris Billam-Smith became world champion, lifting the WBO World Cruiserweight Title aloft. This of course means that Billam-Smith and Masternak are fighting for the WBO World Cruiserweight Title on Sunday night on the south coast of England.
Sunday night will be a chance for ‘CBS’ to make a successful first defence of his title in front of his hometown fans. Similarly, Sunday night is Mateusz Masternak’s first shot at world honours, meaning he has the chance at becoming world champion as the underdog at the first time of asking – just like Billam-Smith earlier this year.
Huge ramifications for the cruiserweight division on Sunday, 9th December from the Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth as Billam-Smith vs Masternak takes centre stage.
