Ahead of Beterbiev vs Smith, Liam Smith has stated in a recent interview with Boxing News that he is fully confident his brother gets his hand raised and becomes the first man to defeat Artur Beterbiev:
“I’ve been watching him [Callum], he’s looking good. One I’m looking forward to. It’s a massive opportunity for Callum to become a two-weight world champion.
“Massive chance for Callum to become unified champion at light-heavyweight, and it’s one we’re very confident in.
“Callum Smith is one of the biggest punchers in the light-heavyweight division. If Callum Johnson can drop Beterbiev and Yarde can shake him to his boots, then Callum can knock him out.
