Brandon Glanton will fight Chris Billam-Smith on Saturday on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn.
Chris Billam-Smith is making his ring return this weekend after a loss to Gilberto Ramirez. He will face 20-2 Brandon Glanton, the only American fighter on the card.
Glanton has had much to say about Billam-Smith ahead of the fight, and is seeking to end his career with a statement performance on the Benn vs Eubank Jr. card.
His record, though, indicates that a win over the former champion may be unlikely.
