Chris Billam-Smith, Chev Clarke make weight; Shane Mosley Jnr needs second attempt

Chris Billam-Smith and Cheavon Clarke are ready to renew their rivalry after both made weight ahead of Saturday's 10-round cruiserweight clash at London's Copper Box Arena.

Former WBO champion Billam-Smith weighed 199.5lbs, while Clarke came in at 198.8lbs for their scheduled 10-round main event.

The contest provides Billam-Smith, 22-2 (13 KOs), with an opportunity to move closer to another world title shot, while Clarke, 12-2 (9 KOs), will be hoping to secure the biggest victory of his professional career.

The pair have history dating back to their amateur days, when Clarke defeated Billam-Smith twice, including in the final of the 2016 national championships.

Both men enter Saturday's contest on the back of victories on the same Zuffa bill in June, though neither enjoyed an easy night in Bournemouth. Billam-Smith was pushed hard by Ryan Rozicki before emerging victorious, while Clarke recovered from two knockdowns to defeat Jack Massey.

In the chief supporting contest Shane Mosley Jnr initially weighed in one pound over the 160lbs middleweight limit for his fight with Denzel Bentley, 22-3-1 (18 KOs).

Mosley, 23-5 (12 KOs), stripped and returned to the scales behind a screen but remained overweight. The American was subsequently given an hour to shed the excess pound and successfully made 160lbs on his second attempt.

Elsewhere on the bill, light heavyweights Zach Parker and Umar Dzambekov weighed 174.9lbs and 174.8lbs, respectively, ahead of their 10-round contest.

Heavyweights Da'Mazion Vanhouter and Ivan Balaz registered 230.6lbs and 244.8lbs, while unbeaten Scottish middleweight Sam Hickey weighed 161.4lbs for his eight-round contest with Amaury Massenaux, who came in at 160.6lbs.

Saturday's Zuffa Boxing 12 event will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Paramount+ in the United States.
