After the final bell both fighters shared some emotional words, with Billam-Smith looking to make a point after the controversy of the week. <\/p>\n

“I just told him that we can’t be saying things like that,” he said.<\/p>\n

“There was thousands of kids watching the build-up and this is one of the biggest shows in the last few years.<\/p>\n

“I just said we have to show what the sport should be about, if we are to be given a platform of this size then we need to be better role models – back and forth is fine but let’s not overstep the line.<\/p>\n

“In a sport where we give everything and we risk our lives, you don’t need to be like that, we need to show some decency and humility. He did apologise.” <\/p>\n

It was Billam-Smith’s first victory since defeat in Saudi Arabia<\/a> when he lost to Gilberto Ramirez in a WBO and WBA unification bout. <\/p>\n

He says he still has ambitions of returning to world level.<\/p>\n

Aside from Ramirez the other champions are Australian Jai Opetaia, with the IBF belt, and Swedish boxer Badou Jack, who holds the WBC title. <\/p>\n

“There’s opportunities around. I will have to wait a bit though, I feel,” Billam-Smith added. <\/p>\n

“I think Zurdo Ramirez and Jai Opetaia are in talks to fight each other. If those two fight then the WBC route would be most likely for me, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

“For now it’s all about family time, having a bit of a rest from boxing and staying fit and then we’ll see where we go.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
