Former world super middleweight champion, British George Groves shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between his compatriot Callum Smith and a Canadian holder of the WBC, WBO and IBF belts Artur Beterbiev, which will take place on the night of January 14 in Quebec.
“Smith was always dangerous in the first half of the fight when he fought at super middleweight, while almost never finishing anyone in the later rounds. Regardless, Callum is an excellent boxer.
On the other hand, Beterbiev is already 38 years old, but he is still a beast. Arthur stopped many in the first half of the fight and has some big names on his resume. Of course, I would like to see Smith win. He can do it, but probably if both boxers come into the fight in good shape, Beterbiev will score a knockout in the later rounds,” Groves said in an interview with ProBox TV.
