Chris Billam-Smith returns to his hometown today as he attempts to successfully defend his WBO cruiserweight world title against the vastly experienced and somewhat dangerous Mateusz Masternak at the Bournemouth International Centre. 

The undercard is now underway and it won't be long until the main event. Can Billam-Smith put on a show in front of his fans and secure a stoppage victory? Or will the wily Masternak pull off a major upset? 

The fight is part of a Sky subscription in the UK or $5.99 per month as part of Peacock in the States. Don't worry if you're abroad while the fight is on, because you can watch Billam-Smith vs Masternak live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Ever since Billam-Smith suffered a surprise defeat early in his professional career to Richard Riakporhe, the man known as ‘The Gentleman’ has been on a remarkable run that sees him getting better with every fight. 

The 33-year-old has won his last nine bouts, overcoming some dangerous fighters along the way. He secured a unanimous decision against the powerful Isaac Chamberlain and knocked down Lawrence Okolie three times on the way to a well-deserved majority decision to win the WBO cruiserweight title. 

Both of these victories have come in front of his home fans in Bournemouth and Billam-Smith will once again be cheered on by his boisterous supporters when he faces Masternak on Sunday.

The Polish fighter will provide a serious test, having enjoyed a lengthy career that has seen him rack up 47 wins from 52 fights, and win numerous titles along the way. Currently ranked the number six cruiserweight in the world by the WBO, 31 of his victories have come by the way of a knockout. 

Masternak hasn’t fought since his unanimous decision victory back in October of last year where he beat Jason Whateley and does have bad memories of fighting in the UK, having lost to Tony Bellew back in 2015.

That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.
