The old score between Billam-Smith and Clarke

Chris Billam-Smith will box Cheavon Clarke at the Copper Box Arena in London on Saturday. The bout will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and will be the main event of the night.

The rivalry between the two boxers goes back more than 10 years. When they were amateurs, Clarke beat Billam-Smith in the national championship final. That result took the two athletes' lives in different directions.

Clarke joined the GB squad after that win, where he stood out and became an Olympian. Billam-Smith, on the other hand, never won the national title. After turning professional, he boxed on small hall shows and eventually won many belts, including a world championship.

What hurts Billam-Smith most is the 2016 amateur final. That year he was seen as the favourite in the final, and he had also reached the final three years earlier. Clarke, after quitting boxing, made an unexpected comeback and became the country's number one amateur. At the end of the three-round bout, Clarke raised his hand and danced in the ring. Clarke said, "I was dancing like crazy," and said he should not have been in that final, that he had beaten all the favourites on the way there.
