Former world light heavyweight champion Alexander Gvozdyk predicts that the holder of the WBC, WBO and IBF titles in the same division Artur Beterbiev will surely prevail over Callum Smith in the upcoming fight.
The confrontation between these boxers will headline a show from Top Rank, which will take place on the night of January 14 in Quebec, Canada.
“If all conditions are equal in this fight, then I don’t see a big challenge from Smith for Beterbiev. Callum is a tall, long-armed guy, but in the fight with Alvarez, who is much shorter than Beterbiev, I noticed that he did not take advantage of his reach advantage.
Arthur will be able to get closer and handle Smith, he will neutralize his power, reach and height. So I don’t think this fight will be a big problem for Beterbiev. When Arthur gets close to him, he will start dropping bombs on him and something similar to what happens to all his opponents will happen,” the Ukrainian said in an interview with ProBox TV.
