'I think more power to them, to be honest.' Chris Billam-Smith offers support for influencer boxing
Wings and Boogie fought on the KSI vs Joe Fournier undercard“Professional boxing is a business. Most people, like myself, we learn to box and then we build up our brand and then we hopefully fight for good money and world titles,” Billam-Smith told talkSPORT.
“These guys do it the other way around. They build up their brand and then learn to box. They make money doing it. You can’t fault them. It’s not their fault, it’s just the day and age we are in with regard to the YouTube world and stuff like that. “You can’t begrudge them because they’ve done charity football matches that sell out stadiums as well. I get that boxing is obviously a hot topic at the moment in the YouTube world.”
The 32-year-old admits that he does worry about the safety aspect but ultimately believes that people like KSI are bringing new eyes and more money to the sport of boxing.
