Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke will meet in the co-main event of Zuffa Boxing 07 on June 6, it was announced on Tuesday, providing chief support to the cruiserweight clash between Ring-ranked contenders Chris Billam-Smith (No. 3) and Ryan Rozicki (No. 6).<\/p>\n
The battle between British cruiserweight contenders Massey and Clarke will take place at Bournemouth International Centre in England and broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n
Massey (23-3, 13 KOs) bounced back from a sixth-round stoppage loss to Jai Opetaia<\/a> in October 2024 last time out in November with a fourth-round knockout of Ivan Gabriel Garcia. Massey entered the encounter against Opetaia off a career-best unanimous decision win over Isaac Chamberlain<\/a> four months prior. The 33-year-old’s only other losses have come against Joseph Parker in 2023 and Richard Riakporhe in 2019, both by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n \u201cChev Clarke is a fight that really excites me,\u201d Massey said in a statement. \u201cEveryone loves a domestic clash, and this bout will propel me right back in the mix for another shot at the world title. Zuffa has a great plan for me, and it all starts here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a new chapter, and I\u2019m ready to show the best of myself,” Clarke said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke will meet in the co-main event of Zuffa Boxing 07 on June 6,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[72640,703,184736,711,49,48,32559,44,82,1134],"class_list":["post-651283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-object-object","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-articles","tag-boxing-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cruiserweight","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-the-ring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
