Joshua Buatsi gets ready to defend his WBO Interim Light-Heavyweight Title against Callum Smith. The two will face off in a 175-pound clash as part of "The Last Crescendo" card.

Buatsi, known to fans as "JB," comes into the fight as the favorite. He's yet to taste defeat in his professional career and will look to keep that streak alive. Buatsi's impressive record has earned him the interim title, and he'll want to prove he deserves a shot at the full championship.

On the other side of the ring, Callum "Mundo" Smith aims to bounce back. The 34-year-old lost to Artur Beterbiev early last year but has shown he can end fights in spectacular fashion. Smith's known for his highlight-reel knockouts and will try to add Buatsi to that list.

The winner of this bout will likely get a chance to fight for the undisputed title. That opportunity will come against the victor of the main event, which sees Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol square off in a rematch for all the marbles at light heavyweight.

Seconds Out will provide a live scorecard for the fight. It's worth noting that these aren't the official judges' scores, but they'll give fans a good idea of how the action's unfolding.
