Richards assessed Smith's chances of defeating Beterbiev

British light heavyweight Craig Richards I am convinced that his compatriot Callum Smith there is a good chance of winning the fight against the world champion according to WBC, WBO and IBF in the light heavyweight division Artur Beterbiev.

“I think this fight is a 50-50 chance. I think it’s a very good fight. Stylistically it will be exciting. They both like to go out for an early victory, they both know how to hit. Beterbiev knocked out every opponent he fought. In my opinion, Callum finished off everyone he fought in the light heavyweight division.

I can imagine Callum winning. It wouldn’t surprise me at all, but it’s a fight with equal chances,” Richards said in an interview with the Boxing News YouTube channel.

Let us remind you that the fight between Beterbiev and Smith will take place on January 13 in Quebec, Canada.
