The granite-chinned 33-year-old will take on Chev Clarke in a captivating clash which has high stakes in the cruiserweight division.

Victory for either could set up a potential clash with the victor of the main event between Chris Billam-Smith.

It was a big move to sign with Dana White’s fast-rising promotion, with the division coming alight in recent months.

And Massey believes activity was the key to him taking the leap to the Turki Alalshikh backed organisation.

He told talkSPORT.com: “The main thing for me was knowing when my next fight is.

“When we spoke to Zuffa, they know their dates very far in advance, Dana White is a busy man.

“So knowing when my fights are and keeping activity were the big factor for me.”

On the role Zuffa are playing in the division, he added: “Now at cruiserweight, it looks like we are all fighting each other.

“This looks the case under the Zuffa bracket but I didn’t think that would be the case at the other promotion.

“There is more of a firm hand in making these fights, and that is why it is the place for me.”

Massey: Fight on Fury vs Joshua bill is the dream

For Massey, he has had his eyes firmly on a domestic showdown with Billam Smith.

It promises to be a big year for Zuffa Boxing fighters, whose largely big opportunities could come on Saudi-backed Ring Magazine cards.

We have already seen the likes of Conor Benn fight on the lucrative bills.

One of the fight cards which could be powered by the roster could be the potential Autumn showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The big bill is being targeted to land on British shores and most notably Wembley Stadium.

And for ‘One Smack’ who has already fought the likes of Jai Opetaia and Joseph Parker on big bills, he has suggested it would be his dream to land on the card.

Massey continued: “I’d love to be on a huge bill like that, that would be the dream.

“That fight is been in the making for a long time, and when that comes off, that would be a dream.”
