Chris Billam-Smith battles Deion Jumah for British and Commonwealth belts as the cruiserweight rivals seek domestic dominance on the Povetkin-Whyte 2 bill.

The Brit duo will collide on the undercard of Alexander Povetkin's rematch with Dillian Whyte on November 21, live on Sky Sports Box Office, after Richard Riakporhe vacated the Lonsdale title.

Jumah emerged victorious when they fought before in the amateur ranks, but Billam-Smith is confident he will avenge this loss next month.

"I think it's a great fight," said Billam-Smith. "Me and Deion have shared the ring together in the amateurs and we have sparred as professionals.

"I think our styles gel really nicely. We both come to fight and we are both always fit. We're two big punchers so it's a brilliant fight and one that I'm really excited about.
