The granite-chinned 33-year-old will take on Chev Clarke in a captivating clash which has high stakes in the cruiserweight division.<\/p>\n

Victory for either could set up a potential clash with the victor of the main event between Chris Billam-Smith.<\/p>\n

It was a big move to sign with Dana White’s fast-rising promotion, with the division coming alight in recent months.<\/p>\n

And Massey believes activity was the key to him taking the leap to the Turki Alalshikh backed organisation.<\/p>\n

He told talkSPORT.com: “The main thing for me was knowing when my next fight is.<\/p>\n

“When we spoke to Zuffa, they know their dates very far in advance, Dana White is a busy man.<\/p>\n

“So knowing when my fights are and keeping activity were the big factor for me.”<\/p>\n

On the role Zuffa are playing in the division, he added: “Now at cruiserweight, it looks like we are all fighting each other.<\/p>\n

“This looks the case under the Zuffa bracket but I didn’t think that would be the case at the other promotion.<\/p>\n

“There is more of a firm hand in making these fights, and that is why it is the place for me.”<\/p>\n

Massey: Fight on Fury vs Joshua bill is the dream\"Tyson<\/a><\/p>\n

Massey has made his case for an appearance on the clash between Fury and Joshua<\/p>\n

For Massey, he has had his eyes firmly on a domestic showdown with Billam Smith.<\/p>\n

It promises to be a big year for Zuffa Boxing fighters, whose largely big opportunities could come on Saudi-backed Ring Magazine cards.<\/p>\n

We have already seen the likes of Conor Benn<\/a> fight on the lucrative bills.<\/p>\n

One of the fight cards which could be powered by the roster could be the potential Autumn showdown between Tyson Fury<\/a> and Anthony Joshua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big bill is being targeted to land on British shores<\/a> and most notably Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n

And for ‘One Smack’ who has already fought the likes of Jai Opetaia and Joseph Parker<\/a> on big bills, he has suggested it would be his dream to land on the card.<\/p>\n

Massey continued: “I’d love to be on a huge bill like that, that would be the dream.<\/p>\n

“That fight is been in the making for a long time, and when that comes off, that would be a dream.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British cruiserweight Jack Massey is reaching for the stars.
