Smith commented on the defeat to Beterbiev

Former world super middleweight champion Callum Smith summed up the fight with the holder of the WBC, WBO, IBF titles Artur Beterbiev, which took place on January 14 in Quebec, Canada.

Let us remind you that the Briton lost early in the seventh round.

“Arthur put a lot of pressure on and didn’t let me find my rhythm. Today the one who acted better won. He caught me with good shots, all fair. No excuses.

I wanted to be a champion in two weight categories, but Beterbiev did not let me achieve this. It's hard to admit that you are not the best in the world. We need to think about our next steps,” Boxing Social quotes Smith as saying.
