LONDON — Former cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith and Chev Clarke both made weight Friday ahead of their November 7 Zuffa Boxing 12 main event at the Copper Box Arena. Billam-Smith registered 199.5 pounds and Clarke 198.8, comfortably below the 200-pound cruiserweight limit. Their 10-round meeting renews an amateur rivalry, with Billam-Smith chasing another world-title opportunity and Clarke seeking his biggest professional win.
The co-main event also remains intact after a brief weigh-in complication. Denzel Bentley weighed 160 pounds for his middleweight matchup with Shane Mosley Jr., who initially came in one pound over the limit. Mosley returned to the scales and successfully made 160 pounds on his second attempt.
Several supporting fighters also posted official weights. Light heavyweights Zach Parker (174.9) and Umar Dzambekov (174.8) are set for their 10-round contest. Heavyweight prospect Da’Mazion Vanhouter (230.6) faces Ivan Balaz (244.8), while rising Scottish middleweight Sam Hickey (161.4) meets Amaury Massenaux (160.6). Featherweights Masood Abdullah (125.4) and Adan Palma (124.8) complete another notable pairing. The card airs on Paramount+ in the United States and Sky Sports in Britain.
