Описание

Liverpool's Callum Smith will challenge Artur Beterbiev for the unified light-heavyweight world titles on August 19th 2023.

WBC 175lb No 1 Smith will travel to Quebec City in Canada to fight Montreal resident Beterbiev for the WBC, IBF and WBO championships.

Beterbiev is one of the most formidable punchers in boxing with a 100 per cent knockout ratio. But Smith, previously the WBA super-middleweight titlist, is on a mission to become a two-weight world champion.

"Quebec is my second home, so I'm very happy to finally defend my titles on home turf," Beterbiev said.

"When you are world champion, everyone wants the opportunity to take your belt, and that's especially true in my case, with three titles at stake. I've already started my training camp, and I'll be ready to not only defend my belts, but to also put on an impressive show August 19 [local time]."
