"Style creates fights and this is a fight I can definitely win," he said. Callum Smith (29-1, 21 KOs) before the fight with Artur Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs), unified WBC, IBF and WBO light heavyweight world champion.
The Briton, a former super middleweight champion, is the mandatory contender for the Russian in the WBC line. The fight is scheduled for August in Canada.
“I have no problem with away fights. Of course, it would be better to take control of everything, and not wait in the uncertainty of a specific date, but there are things that I cannot control. I believe that I will win this fight, and the prospect of getting three belts at once excites me very much. Wherever and whenever this fight takes place, I look forward to it. Beterbiev is a very good fighter, a great champion, but he is already 38 years old and he misses a lot in his fights. He hits very hard himself, but he is also easy to hit. Recent fights have also shown that he can be seriously shaken. I used to be the world's super middleweight champion, and I'm even better at light heavyweight," Smith said.
