Eli Scotney, still undefeated and a former undisputed world champion, considers gym-mate Chris Billum-Smith’s battle with Ryan Rosicky and what lies ahead for him…
I think you can expect what Chris Billum-Smith always brings. I think his character as an outsider is something that people fall in love with but then when you see him, it’s the opposite and that’s something that boxing fans can fall in love with.
They are looking for entertainment, they are looking for a story and what a story he has. His best chapter awaits him.
For me everyone is always going to talk about the Jai Opetiya fight. He wants it and I think people are looking past Chris, like they’ve done his whole career, and I really believe he’s world number one and he’ll show it. I really believe he does a job in Opatija. i do
He has always been an underdog. Look at Lawrence Okoli, no one wanted to fight him, he was the bogeyman of the department and look what Chris did to him.

Highlights of Ellie Scottney’s outstanding undisputed fight with Miley Flores
I think he is the best when he is doubted. I really believe that will be the winner. I think stylistically it’s all wrong for Opatija.
I think you see the cracks in Opatija’s armor. Yes, he’s beaten Myris Briedis twice but he’s coming towards the end of his career and you see Opetaia getting into fights, frustrated with himself. I think he’s had a lot of fights that make him look like a killer.
When you look at Chris’ CV, you think he’s boxed anyone and everyone.
From what I saw in Jim, I think losing to Gilberto Ramirez was the best thing that could have happened to him. It’s like a different fighter. A fighter I look at and I think how can you improve and he does.

Bournemouth-born fighter Chris Billam-Smith promises ‘fireworks’ in his home fight against Ryan Rosicky
He applies his mentality and the way he listens to Shane McGuigan seems like he’s making a debut. They’ve got such a perfect relationship and Chris, when he retires he can look back and say I gave everything. I think that’s a position any fighter wants to be in I think he still has that mentality I believe he will be the man of the division.
When he is degraded he flourishes in that environment. He is a special person and a special fighter.
