Callum Smith interview - "I'm the best in the division... Liam joining Matchroom was long overdue".

[TheBoxingMadMan]

Interesting interview.



Boxing Social's Andi Purewal spoke to WBA 'Super' and Ring Magazine World Champion Callum Smith in Liverpool.

 

[Pigg]

Any mention of when/who he's fighting next?

 

[Pigg]

As for Liam; he isn't beating any of the current 154lbs champions, can't see where Eddie is going to take him.

Fitz v Fowler winner ?

@TheBoxingMadMan

How do you see Smith (Callum) vs Plant?

@TheBoxingMadMan

I think Smith beats him on points. Bigger, taller with a longer reach. Will keep him at arms length for much of the fight, which probably means Smith would get KO'd inside 3 rounds!

 

[sasquatch]

Smith overrated, had one victory over a shot groves and thinks he's elite. Very basic fighter that will get found out when he steps up.

Fitz v Fowler winner ?

Brook?

 

[Pigg]

I thought that mate, then I remembered Brooks supposed to be going back to 147 ... again.

It's an in-house 'PPV'.

I can't see the snake oil seller letting that slip by.

 

[Pigg]

One of those lose and off the books/retires jobs?

 

[Pigg]

There were rumours of a Smith (Liam) Martin Murray fight circulating last year, so I'm a bit surprised that he's meeting Egg at 154 ..

Plant would get KOed?

Eggington. Fucking Eggington.

A guy who just got banjoed in 2 by an unknown African. Hearn ain't even trying anymore.

 

[Pigg]

Taking the piss mate. .. Smith vs the African lad would have been better ..

 

[khan_is_delusional]

Callum isn't a ticket seller, and will never be PPV, he's worthless to Hearn really.

Hearn will use him to feed to Bivol and keep those Russians on side, their stable is elite.

 

[A Force]

Makes me laugh him saying that Liam joining matchroom is long overdue. Liam Smith should forever be grateful to Warren for getting him the easiest world title win & first defence I’ve ever known a British fighter have & then he got him a big pay day against Canelo.

He did an unbelievable job for Smith & all down to Frank’s relationship with the WBO which Matchroom don’t have.

 

[khan_is_delusional]

He's going to beat Munguia though.....

Cracking post sir ...

Seemed as good a place to post this as any.

"There's a possibility, if no-one wants to dance with us at super-middleweight, that we'd move up and fight Kovalev." - Joe Gallagher

Callum Smith could switch his sights to Sergey Kovalev as he considers options for first fight of 2019

Callum Smith would consider a world title fight against Sergey Kovalev at light-heavyweight, if he does not secure a unification clash at super-middleweight.
