Zuffa Boxing’s UK launch is already getting messy. According to the article, British promoter Ben Shalom claims Dana White’s team illegally poached Chris Billam‑Smith and rising prospect Sam Hickey while they were still under BOXXER contracts.
BOXXER is now seeking urgent injunctive relief against both Zuffa Boxing and Sky Sports, arguing that everyone involved knew the fighters were still contractually tied to them. Shalom says the recent behavior left BOXXER with no choice but to take the fight to the English courts. Drama outside the ring is heating up fast.
