Bivol pointed out Smith's shortcoming, which will affect the outcome of the fight with Beterbiev

WBC world light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the holder of the WBC, WBO and IBF belts Artur Beterbiev And Callum Smith, scheduled for January 13th in Quebec, Canada.

“I have already said before that I am inclined to win Beterbiev. He is more experienced and a tough fighter. And Smith will let him get closer. Callum has long arms, but he boxes at close range. He doesn’t use his reach, and that plays into Arthur’s hands,” Bivol said in an interview with Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that Bivol himself will defend his belt in a fight with Lyndon Arthur on December 23 in Riyadh.
