Hearn: Smith will knock out Beterbiev

The head of the promotion company Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, explained why he is confident in his client’s early victory Callum Smith in the upcoming fight with the unified light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev.

The meeting of these fighters will take place on January 13 in Quebec, Canada.

“You’ll see it. I remember Callum Johnson fighting Arthur Beterbiev. It was many years ago during our debut night of Matchroom Boxing USA on DAZN. Johnson knocked Beterbiev down with a left hook. So I'm confident that Smith can do it too, catching him on a counter-attack. I think about this all the time. I see him knocking out Beterbiev in Quebec,” Boxing 24/7 quotes Hearn as saying.
