Sam Hickey, Leon Hughes and Alex MacMillan sign deals with Zuffa Boxing and will fight on June 6 live on Sky Sports

Three unbeaten prospects Sam Hickey, Leon Hughes and Alex MacMillan have signed promotional deals with Zuffa Boxing and will box on Your Site' bill in Bournemouth next month.

On Saturday June 6, Chris Billam-Smith will headline Zuffa Boxing 07 in an all-action cruiserweight clash against Ryan Rozicki at the Bournemouth International Centre.

Dundee's Hickey is returning to action on the card after last competing in December when he defeated Aljaz Venko over six rounds. Prior to that last year the middleweight ruthlessly stopped Lewis Howells, dropping him three times in just the first round.

An outstanding amateur, Hickey turned professional when his weight division was removed from the Olympic Games.

A 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Hickey also claimed bronze at the 2022 European Championships, making him the first Scottish athlete in 16 years to win a senior European medal.

Hughes is an undefeated cruiserweight trained by Michael Jennings, the former world title challenger who took on Miguel Cotto in New York.

MacMillan, 22, from Morecambe, is a stablemate of Billam-Smith's, training with Shane McGuigan. The welterweight has already secured two quick stoppage victories in just three pro fights.
