You'll always be a Champion in the Fans Eyes Chris.....and it puts the Fakes and Cheats in Boxing to Shame....and they could never have your Integrity and Humility and Heart....and that's why you'll always be held in high regard and esteem by the Fans....
Big ups from Canada gentlemen, excellent questions from the host, what a fine young man, still my champ! Can’t wait to see you regain a championship,I just know you will.
Just this interview alone makes you want to see chris in more big fights! Taken this very gracefully and it will only serve to add to a wealth of experience and see him improve even more going forward! Top bloke, well fought 👏🏻
What an absolute genuine decent gentleman you are Chris!! Didn’t have to take this fight but wanted to be best, but so gracious in defeat. No excuses or anything. I really hope he gets another shot, and I believe he will come back stronger. Lots of the top fighters should take note of this man.
I didn't know much about Chris Billam-Smith before this interview, but, he sounds like a man who's got his head screwed on. He should do all he can to secure the WBC Cruiserweight Title fight that was mentioned during this conversation, as, for me, the WBC belt is THE belt to hold and defend, in any weight class. Thanks for uploading; I liked it and subscribed.
Billion smith is completely delusional and needs to sit back jd watch the fight and realise how one sided aaa whipping it was. The fight proved he’s only British level. Jack Massey would beat him. The fact he still thinks he’s the best cruiser weight is laughable. His team did him a massive favour ducking Opetaia because he would have been badly hurt. Back to fighting pommies for Chris
A good comeback fight would be Jack Massey, evenly matched, both brave and decent chaps. Both in need of a strong performance against a credible opponent and both coming off brave performances in defeat. If CBS' management can get him a WBC title shot after such a comprehensive loss would be an amazing feat. Not really earnt, but if it's offered, he'd be stupid not to take it.
How much did he gets from that loss? Opetaia offer millions from his own pockets to fight this guy, yet he went txts Zurdo for a fight now he worthless 😂😂 bite me but yes he is worthless now😂😂
Had he won he won it would have been an absolute super fight with Opetai. And he backed himself to win. 2 - WBC president has mentioned his name and he could fight for the belt 3 - Biggest ticket selling cruserweight in Britain.
CBS and his team underestimated Zurdo. They thought they could bully the smaller man but it was a cherry pick gone wrong. Surely they wanted to enter negotiations with Jai holding 2 belts as leverage.
This lad is a special character. In such a cutthroat industry with not much room for nice people most of the time Chris has maximised every last drop of his potential to achieve incredible things. His dedication, toughness and work ethic was too strong for Okolie and Riakphore but with Zurdo he jyst met an exceptional all rounder who could do everything so smoothly and consistently. Chris should be proud of all the great wins he's achieved and look forward to working on things to come back stronger in 2025. I dont like the Opetaia fight for Chris it has to be said because I think he's all wrong for Chris with his rythmn and movement but there are other options out there and another belt holder I believe to target after an eliminator maybe.
It wouldn't shock me if something came out later on. It would be interesting to know if there was vada testing. I'm guessing for a title fight there should have been.
Really drugs for zerdo CBS was just a weak champ and got found out... t heir is a reason He ducked Jai for so long and so many fighters wanted to fight him because He was the weekest champ
Who should Chris Billam-Smith fight next? 🔮👇
Jack or Noel
Chris against Ryan rozicki would be epic
@boxingnews__ let him tip away at training and let's see what way the cards lay at the end of January ( sorry for not giving an proper answer)
Needs a confidence builder, maybe 37-year-old Arsen Goulamirian around the end of Q1 in 2025
Only British fighters. That ass whipping proved he’s only that level

Such an honest man, good luck for the future.
What an awesome human being a total credit to boxing

Top bloke, well fought 👏🏻
Great man respect !!
Top bloke
Quality fella. Incredible fight. Full respect
He nearly went then, hearing former. Certain shitty losses cut me to the bone in the amateurs - I can’t imagine what that did to him.
The gentleman is a hardnose classy fighter,next time he fights I’ll be watching
What a true champion
Chin up Chris you did us Brits proud,
True warrior

Massive respect to CBS. One disturbingly hard mother fucker! Good luck for the future mate.

Respect Chris. I didn't follow you really however after watching this I can see you are a man's man. I will follow you from now on mate 👍

Not really their will be 3 WBC champs by the end of this month
Top man. No shame with the loss. Just had the better tactics CBS on the night. Shake yourself down, get back in the mindset of a champion. 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Tactics lol. It was a one sided ass whipping
Great guy is Chris he just fought the wrong fight but still big fights for him on the horizon
My long abiding memory of the night was CBS measuring his dressing room. A good British world champion was chris 🥊👍
Measuring? In feet and inches?
Basically he won the first round and from there on he got battered!
I Really want this Man to win another World Title.
A true Gentleman and pugilist!

CBS 🦆 Opetaia and says he believes he can beat him 😂😂😂 Opetaia would Batter CBS the same as he did Massey who would give CBS a great fight.
When a boxer prefaces everything he says with “I believe”, I always doubt their sincerity. I don’t think he believes one eighth of what he says.
Best wishes to Chris, but we've got to tell the truth: his performance was woeful. Time for Shane to go.
Anyone think that CBS is waiting for a failed test for Zurdo? Spent the first few minutes saying how strong he was and kept going!!
He has just always loved analysing his own performances win or lose. He’s the same in every interview.
It wouldn't shock me if something came out later on. It would be interesting to know if there was vada testing. I'm guessing for a title fight there should have been.
Really drugs for zerdo CBS was just a weak champ and got found out... t heir is a reason He ducked Jai for so long and so many fighters wanted to fight him because He was the weekest champ
He needs a new trainer Shane was awful that night 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️keep walking forward CBS don’t move your head at all!
Shane taught him from his first pro fight.he’s never gonna bob and weave as that’s just CBS. Respect Shane
Why is it always switch the trainer when they lose? He has had a fantastic career and lost to the better fighter. Didn’t matter who was training him
YOU CAN'T CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN THE BELT SITUATION TO ADULTS!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂A CHILD HAS NO CHANCE OF UNDERSTANDING 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🫡CBS!
He needs to train with Bettervide...
Better video?
Chris is still the best cruiser out there. Just because he lost, does not mean he is not the best.
How do you work that out
Uhh........ 🤔
He was never the best
He lost so he’s not the best
Losing kinda does mean you’re not the best, you can have a few L’s & be the best but if you JUST lost you can’t say that
