Saturday, January 13 Callum Smith (29-1, 21 KOs) will clash with Artur Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs) for the Russian-born fighter’s IBF, WBC and WBO light heavyweight world titles. The fight will take place at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, and the card will air on ESPN+ in the US and Sky Sports in the UK. Smith returns to the ring for the first time since his highlight reel KO vs Matthew Bauderlique in an eliminator for the WBC light heavyweight title.
Beterbiev was last seen at London’s Wembley Arena when disrupted Antonio Yarde in the eighth round of an entertaining fight. Smith will look to establish his jab early and make Beterbiev feel the power of him. He is a great body puncher and will look to unload when he is around. The Russian-born fighter is a phenomenal puncher, as evidenced by his 100% KO record. Beterbiev is adept at closing the gap on his opponents and is relentless when he advances and lands spiteful blows.
