Chris Billam-Smith says he expects to fight Jai Opetaia in 2027, but only if both boxers win their upcoming bouts.
Both outlets report the same expectation from Billam-Smith, linking the projected matchup to the results of his next fight and Opetaia’s next fight. The reports do not provide additional detail on the specific opponents, dates, or titles involved in the upcoming contests, nor do they clarify whether any contracts or formal negotiations are already in place.
Sky News and Sky Sports both frame the 2027 showdown as conditional—dependent on each fighter securing victory in their respective next appearances. Beyond that shared point, neither source adds contrasting information or alternative timelines, and neither suggests additional obstacles or changes to the plan.
