WBO cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith says David Haye is someone he "looks up to" as the last Briton to unify world championship belts in the division."It's a fight I'm really excited for and a big opportunity for me," Billam-Smith told BBC Sport.
Ramirez, 33, is set for his third fight at cruiserweight following success at super-middleweight and light-heavyweight. He became the first Mexican to win a cruiserweight title when he defeated Arsen Goulamirian for the WBA belt in March. "I'd say I have more of an advantage being settled at the weight, but he has his advantages too as he'll be used to faster guys as he's come up through the weights.
Billam-Smith won his WBO title in a memorable night in his hometown at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium when he defeated Lawrence Okolie in front of a packed crowd.Cruiserweight unification a 'long time coming' - Ramirez
