CLARKE STUNS BILLAM-SMITH! 🤯 | Chris Billam-Smith vs Cheavon Clarke | Highlights

The referee steps in. Chris Billam-Smith protests, but Cheavon Clarke has landed another right hand after putting him down twice in a decisive seventh round at London's Copper Box Arena.

Sky Sports Boxing's highlights capture a sharp turn in a cruiserweight contest that an unofficial scorecard had level entering that round. Clarke's clean right hook sends Billam-Smith to the canvas, then a follow-up attack against the ropes produces a second knockdown. Billam-Smith gets up again, but Clarke's continued pressure brings the stoppage.

For Billam-Smith, who won the WBO cruiserweight world title against Lawrence Okolie in 2023, it is a stark finish. The commentary calls the first knockdown the first of his career.

The highlights drew roughly 162,000 views in their first day, about fifteen times the channel's usual start for regular videos. The comment section was also much busier than usual, with the referee's intervention at the centre of the discussion. Viewers point to Billam-Smith's unsteady legs and the chances he had already been given to continue; the broadcast commentary also backs the stoppage.

Clarke's win is not the only Copper Box moment drawing attention on the channel. Denzel Bentley's highlights against Shane Mosley Jr, including a knockdown, also made a much faster start than usual. Bentley then supplied a separate talking point with a call-out of Conor Benn.
